GEORGETOWN, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Guyana's Vice President

said on Thursday the country will not take any possible gas

development off the negotiation table, including Exxon Mobil's ( XOM )

future projects.

Exxon's eighth project, Longtail, is expected to be the

first to develop non-associated gas in Guyana, and two more

discoveries, Haimara and Pluma, could follow. An Exxon executive

said this month that turning gas into liquefied natural gas

(LNG) might not be a priority for the company in some projects.
