QatarEnergy has signed a production sharing agreement (PSA) for shallow-water Block S4 offshore Guyana, formalising its participation in the block awarded during the country’s 2022 licensing round.
Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs and President and CEO of QatarEnergy, said the agreement aligns with the company’s strategy to expand its international upstream footprint.
“We are pleased to secure this exploration block in Guyana, further building on the strategy to expand our global upstream exploration activities,” he said.
“I would like to thank the government of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and our partners in the block for their valued support and cooperation. We look forward to working together to deliver on our exploration objectives.”
Under the PSA, TotalEnergies will operate the block with a 40% stake. QatarEnergy will hold 35%, while Petronas will take the remaining 25%.
Block S4 spans 1,788 sq km and lies around 50–100 km offshore Guyana, in shallow waters ranging from 30–100 metres. The agreement further strengthens QatarEnergy’s growing presence in the Americas’ exploration landscape.
