Gas-to-Energy project-Guyanese businesses should prepare for massive opportunities – ExxonMobil official

With Guyana pursuing major gas development projects, local businesses are being encouraged to position themselves to capitalise on the opportunities that will come.

This call was made by ExxonMobil Guyana’s Socioeconomic Manager, Lorna Carlson, during the Guyana Supplier Forum 2026 held last week – a flagship event that connects local and international businesses with opportunities in the oil and gas sector. According to Carlson, there are exciting opportunities ahead and Guyanese businesses need to build capabilities not just to be competitive but also participate in the development of the country’s burgeoning oil and gas sector.

“The capabilities being built today will influence how effectively Guyana participates in future areas of growth. Potential gas development that we’ve heard an awful lot about presents one example [for Guyanese businesses],” she noted.
