Patriots Portfolio — April 10, 2026

Patriots Portfolio: your weekly look at Guyana’s economic landscape — what’s growing, what’s coming, and where the opportunities are for Guyanese building toward the future.

THE HEADLINE NUMBER THIS WEEK: US$761 MILLION

Guyana received US$761 million in oil revenue in Q1 2026. Annualised, that projects to approximately US$3 billion in oil receipts for the year — before accounting for the Uaru development coming online and pushing production toward one million barrels per day by year end. For context: Guyana’s entire GDP was around US$27 billion in 2025 and growing. The oil revenue is not the whole economy. But it is the engine that is funding everything else described in this column.

MARKET MOOD: COMPLICATED OPTIMISM

Global oil markets remain volatile against the backdrop of Middle East conflict. Guyana’s production — past 900,000 barrels per day — is insulated from the worst volatility by long-term offtake agreements, but the private sector is watching the Gulf situation closely. The Guyana Chronicle reports the local private sector is “closely tracking developments in the Middle East.” That is the polite way of saying everyone is nervous and nobody wants to say so publicly.

MARKET MOOD: CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC

Global oil prices are elevated due to Middle East instability, which is — depending on who you ask — either very good for Guyana or very complicated for Guyana. The answer, as usual, is both.

THIS WEEK’S MAIN MOVES

🛢️ EXXON: THE YELLOWTAIL PRODUCTION REQUEST

ExxonMobil has formally applied to the Government of Guyana to increase production at the Yellowtail FPSO from 263,000 barrels per day to 290,000 barrels per day. Application is currently under government review.
