Development Plan for Guyana's Seventh Oil Project Expected Early Next Year - A development plan for Guyana's seventh offshore oil project is expected early next year, Natural Resources Minister Vickram Bharrat said on Wednesday, and would bring the South American nation's total oil production to more than 1.4 million barrels per day (BBL/d). Guyana has emerged as the fastest growing oil nation in the last decade, with more than 30 discoveries off its coast. A consortium led by Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) (Spring, Texas) is producing about 650,000 BBL/d from three production platforms. The seventh project, called Hammerhead, is projected to add up to 180,000 BBL/d of production capacity after it starts output in 2029.

CORPORATE
Chevron to Pay $550 Million to Richmond, California - Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) (San Ramon, California) is to pay Richmond City Council in California $550 million over 10 years, the city said in a statement, in a settlement that saw it drop a proposed ballot on a new tax on the oil major's Richmond refinery. Richmond planned to seek voters' approval for a tax on the refinery, which processes about 250,000 BBL/d, saying Chevron should pay its fair share to the community it has been in for over a century. As a result of the settlement the council approved on Wednesday, the city agreed to withdraw the measure. Chevron will pay the money in annual installments starting from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2035, it said.
