HOUSTON, May 6 - A consortium led by Exxon Mobil ( XOM )
that controls all oil and gas output in Guyana produced 668,000
barrels per day (bpd) of oil last week, the U.S. company's head
for the South American country, Alistair Routledge, said in a
conference on Tuesday.
The group, which is working to install its fourth floating
output facility after receiving it in Guyana's waters in
February, in March produced 627,000 bpd. The 631,000 bpd average
achieved in the first quarter was 3% higher year-on-year, data
from the country's energy ministry showed last month.
