Exxon Mobil seeks environmental permit for exploration in offshore Guyana

Exxon Mobil has applied for environmental authorization for a 35-well exploration campaign in Guyana's Stabroek block, about 120 miles offshore. The news is a procedural regulatory update rather than an operational or financial surprise, so immediate market impact is likely limited. It is relevant for future upstream oil supply expectations and for Guyana as an emerging oil producer.
