Exxon's gas project in Guyana to include fertilizer plant, executive says

GEORGETOWN, Feb 19 (Reuters) - A large-scale gas project by Exxon Mobil XOM.N in Guyana set to provide natural gas to shore and export liquefied natural gas (LNG) will also include fertilizer plants, the head of the U.S. oil major in Guyana, Alistair Routledge, said on Wednesday.

A consortium led by Exxon plans to ramp up gas output in Guyana in the coming years, especially through projects involving non-associated gas production such as Longtail, which is expected to have a final investment decision next year. The company is "ready to deliver gas" to shore, Routledge said.
