The Liza Destiny is the first Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel to operate in Guyanese waters, marking the official start of the nation's oil production in December 2019. The vessel operates in the Liza field within the strategic Stabroek Block, located approximately 190 kilometers offshore. Originally built as a crude oil tanker, the Liza Destiny underwent an extensive conversion in Singapore to handle a production capacity of up to 120,000 barrels of oil per day. With a storage capacity of 1.6 million barrels, it plays a pivotal role in the global energy strategy of ExxonMobil and its partners. The vessel is equipped with advanced technology for gas separation, water treatment, and the safe offloading of oil to transport tankers. The commissioning of the Liza Destiny has transformed Guyana into one of the world's fastest-growing economies in a very short period. It stands as a symbol of the technological advancement and vast resource potential of Guyana's deepwater offshore territories.
