Wrap-up on the modelled second driver and its metrics, Guyana’s window for open crude oil exports

Introduction

Today’s column concludes my assessment of the second of four modeled drivers and its metrics. All four drivers are listed in the analytical structure, which is set out in my column of January 28 2023. To recall, the first column [already completed] focused on Guyana’s petroleum resources and reserves and its modeled metrics. Following that, is modeled Government Take and its modeled metrics [the third, next week]; and fourth, modeled operating cost of production ratios and their metrics.

In today’s wrap-up column I continue to focus on the findings of the World Benchmarking Alliance, as they relate to assessing Guyana’s oil export opportunity going forward.
