As of 2020, Guyana has nine petroleum blocks under active leases, of which six have had active exploration. [10] The Petroleum Division of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission has the responsibility of monitoring exploration in Guyana.
Most of the geology of northern Guyana consists of Palaeoproterozoic Orosirian greenstone belts (Barama-Mazaruni Supergroup) intruded by granites. These are overlain unconformably by the Statherian Burro-Burro Group, which consist of the Muruwa Formation sandstones and Iwokrama Formation felsic volcanics.
These forests are home to more than a thousand species of trees. Guyana's tropical climate, unique geology, and relatively undisturbed ecosystems support extensive areas of species-rich rain forests and natural habitats with high levels of endemism. There are about 8000 species of plants in Guyana, half of which are found nowhere else.

Petroleum geology is the study of the origins, occurrence, movement, accumulation, and exploration of hydrocarbon fuels. It refers to the specific set of geological disciplines that are applied to the search for hydrocarbons ( oil exploration ).
Mining in Guyana is a significant contributor to the economy owing to sizable reserves of bauxite, gold, and diamonds. [1] Much of these resources are found in Guyana's Hilly Sand and Clay belt, a region that makes up 20% of the country.
Petroleum is extracted from the Earth (above or below its surface, depending on the geology of the formation), refined, and used as an energy source. [ 3 ] Crude oil is most commonly organised into four types - light , heavy , sweet , and sour . [ 6 ]
