Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) reportedly plans to drill up to 30 wells for its seventh oil project in Guyana, named Hammerhead.
Pending government approval, the project is set to begin production in 2029, boosting Guyana&#8217;s capacity to over 1.4 million barrels of oil per day, reported Reuters.
Exxon plans for the vessel to store 1.4 to 2 million barrels of oil. The floating production unit, a converted VLCC, will be located 15 km (9 miles) southwest of Liza Destiny, Exxon&#8217;s first platform in Guyana.
As per the report, Exxon anticipates Hammerhead will produce 120,000-180,000 barrels of crude daily, less than the 250,000 barrels per day from its largest vessels in Guyana.
Last month, as per government data, Guyana&#8217;s lucrative agreement with an Exxon Mobil-led consortium in the South American country generated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39479711/exxon-mobil-rakes-in-billions-from-guyana-oil-deal-net-margin-tops-chip-giant-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">$6.33 billion for the partners</a>.
In particular, as per Guyana government filings, Exxon reported a net profit of $2.9 billion, its partner Hess Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HES#NYSE">HES</a>) earned $1.88 billion, and CNOOC gained $1.52 billion from the Stabroek joint venture.
Notably, in April, Exxon and Hess made a final investment decision for the Whiptail development offshore Guyana worth $12.7 billion following receiving the required&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38221117/guyanas-oil-spigot-wide-open-exxon-hess-sanction-massive-12-7b-oil-project" rel="noreferrer noopener">government and regulatory approvals</a>.&nbsp;
Investors can gain exposure to the XOM via&nbsp;Energy&nbsp;Select&nbsp;Sector&nbsp;SPDR Fund&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) and IShares U.S.&nbsp;Energy&nbsp;ETF&nbsp;(ARCA: IYE).

Former Ford Motor Co. CEO Mark Fields expressed doubts about General Motors Corp.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) ability to achieve mass adoption of its electric vehicles (EVs).
What Happened: Fields, in a comment on GM&#8217;s EV push, stated during CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Last Call&#8221; on Tuesday, "Getting early adopters is one thing. Getting mass adoption is much harder." 
The comment appeared after GM announced a delay in its EV production target of one million units beyond 2025. Fields called this move a &#8220;huge pivot&#8221; for the company which had planned to stop producing gas cars completely from 2035 and produce 2 million EVs annually by 2026.
"They're the most exposed and they're also the latest to hybrids, their hybrids aren't going to be in the marketplace for another couple of years,&#8221; Fields added.

Why It Matters: GM recently announced a delay in its EV production target of one million units beyond 2025. CEO Mary Barra attributed this to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39786382/gm-delays-1m-ev-production-target-beyond-2025-market-isnt-developing-were-going-to-be-guided-by-">market&#8217;s slower development</a>, stating, "We will not get to a million just because the market is not developing."
Despite the delay, Barra reiterated the company&#8217;s commitment to an all-electric future, emphasizing the importance of the vehicle as a software platform.
GM&#8217;s EV strategy has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39727305/biden-administration-injects-1-7b-into-ev-manufacturing-facilities-of-general-motors-stellantis-">received significant support</a> from the Biden administration, which recently granted nearly $1.1 billion to GM and Chrysler-parent Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) to transform their facilities into EV manufacturing hubs. This initiative aims to enable these facilities to produce 1 million EVs annually.
Price Action: On Tuesday, at the time of writing, GM was trading 0.26% higher at $49.43 after closing at $49.30 on Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>
