A fire in a laundry room has disrupted operations on an ExxonMobil floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel serving the company's Guyana offshore programme, Baird Maritime reports.

The incident occurred aboard one of the FPSOs deployed on the Stabroek Block, where ExxonMobil and its partners Hess and CNOOC have built out a rapidly expanding production complex in recent years. Details of the specific vessel involved, the timing of the fire, and its duration were not disclosed in the report.

There was no immediate information on injuries, and no spill or environmental release has been reported in connection with the event.

ExxonMobil operates the Stabroek Block with a 45% interest, alongside Hess with 30% and CNOOC with 25%. The block's production fleet has grown to multiple FPSOs as the consortium has advanced successive developments in the basin, with further vessels sanctioned and under construction to raise overall output capacity in the coming years.

The report did not specify how the fire affected production rates, nor how quickly operations would resume to prior levels.

The watch item: confirmation from ExxonMobil on the FPSO involved, any impact on Guyana's production volumes, and the timeline for a return to full operations.
