Invest in Guyana

Bancroft Financial invests directly in the growing economy of Guyana, and is focused on introducing investors and business partners to world-class opportunities to participate in the economic development of Guyana.

About Us

Bancroft Financial combines the extensive history of its principals with a can-do attitude for our clients and projects.

When our principals were exiting their decades-long stint in the oil and gas business in 2015, they formed Bancroft Financial to be the vehicle for duplicating their success in oil and gas to other fields of endeavor. Bancroft has been involved with numerous real estate projects as well as various start-ups. Today our primary focus is on the country of Guyana in South America.

Beginning in 2019, Bancroft began researching opportunities and began developing relationships both in the government and in the private sector to allow us to effectively execute on projects.

Bancroft Guyana Investment Group acts as a Holding Company. BGIG creates or invests in already established entities in Guyana. As individual entities mature, qualified staff and management will be engaged to create a “stand alone” structure. The bulk of any financing needed to progress the business plan will be done at the entity level. BGIG manages and structures financial offerings. Investors in BGIG will be given first rights of refusal on any additional financing rounds.

We invite you to join us in our journey.

Why Guyana

World class oil production will propel Guyana’s economy for the next 30 years. Number represent “barrels of oil per day” (bopd).

Liza Phase I 120,000 bopd 2020
Liza Phase II 220,000 bopd 2022
Payara 220,000 bopd 2023
Turbot 220,000 bopd 2025

Production is scheduled to grow to 750,000 bopd by 2025, resulting in over $6 Billion/year of revenue to the Country of Guyana at current prices. By the end of the decade, production is slated to be 1.2 million bopd with a resulting inflow of $10 billion/year to the country.

Long term (30 + years) capital commitment by oil majors such as Exxon, Total, Hess, and Shell. Over $22 Billion USD is projected.
Offshore investment is independent of market price of oil thus ensuring a continuous flow of capital development in Guyana.
