GEORGETOWN, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Guyana exported a total

of 225 cargoes of crude oil in 2024, energy minister Vickram

Bharrat said on Tuesday, as a consortium led by U.S. major Exxon

Mobil ( XOM ) continued ramping up production and completed an

update at its facilities.

Bharrat also said an exploration license to Canada-based

Frontera Energy ( FECCF ) and CGX Energy ( CGXEF ) cannot be

extended again after extra time given for completing the

appraisal of the offshore block, so the companies would have to

reapply for a license.
