Royal Dutch Shell won the rights to market Guyana’s first cargoes of crude oil, the government said on Tuesday, just days after oil production began and launched the impoverished South American country into the ranks of world suppliers.
An ExxonMobil-led consortium, which includes Hess Corp and China’s CNOOC Ltd, began producing crude from the Liza well on Friday. The companies have discovered more than six billion barrels of recoverable oil and gas in a massive offshore block.
