The Office of the Prime Minister this morning announced that Phoenix Park Gas Processors Limited (PPGPL) and its local partner, GuyGas Inc., have been identified as the first-ranked firms for the operation and maintenance of the Gas-to-Energy (GTE) Phase 1 Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) Plant.

In a release, the Prime Minister’s office explained that the selection follows an open Request for Proposals, which was advertised in January last year under the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board.

A total of five proposals were received and assessed by an Evaluation Committee against administrative, technical, and financial criteria.

The proposal led by Phoenix Park Gas, with GuyGas Inc. as local partner, ranked first overall, achieving the leading technical assessment together with the most advantageous cost-benefit commercial offer.

Cabinet has given its no-objection to the commencement of negotiations with the firms, with the objective of agreeing to an operations and maintenance arrangement for the NGL operations.

The intended arrangement covers Operations and Maintenance core services and the Long-Term Maintenance Plan for the Phase 1 NGL Plant, with PPGPL and GuyGas Inc. to be finalized through negotiation.

PPGPL is a regional natural gas liquids operator and will serve as the lead operations and maintenance operator, while GuyGas Inc. participates as the local partner, supporting local content and the transfer of skills and capacity to Guyanese workers.

The NGL Plant forms part of the integrated Gas-to-Energy facility near Georgetown, which brings associated gas ashore from the Stabroek Block, alongside the recovery of propane, butane, and pentanes-plus for domestic and export markets.

The government said engaging an experienced operator is intended to ensure the plant is run safely, reliably, and efficiently from start-up, which is targeted for the first quarter of 2027.

The Office of the Prime Minister also announced that Siemens Energy has been selected as the O&M operator for the 300-megawatt combined-cycle power plant and the balance of plant (BOP) and auxiliary facilities.  Siemens Energy will hold overall responsibility for coordinating operations and maintenance across the integrated facility, with the NGL Plant operations integrating into that framework.
