- Discovery will add to previous recoverable resource estimate of
approximately 9 billion oil equivalent barrels
- Extensive well program testing play extensions and new
concepts
- Liza Unity set sail from Singapore, production startup
anticipated early 2022
ExxonMobil today said it made a discovery at Pinktail in the
Stabroek Block offshore Guyana. The Pinktail well encountered 220
feet (67 meters) of net pay in high quality hydrocarbon bearing
sandstone reservoirs. In addition to successful appraisal of the
Turbot discovery, the Turbot-2 well encountered 43 feet (13 meters)
of net pay in a newly identified, high quality hydrocarbon bearing
sandstone reservoir separate from the 75 feet (23 meters) of high
quality, oil bearing sandstone reservoir pay encountered in the
original Turbot-1 discovery well. This follows the additional pay
in deeper reservoirs encountered at the previously announced
Whiptail discovery. These results will be incorporated into future
developments.
“These discoveries are part of an extensive well program in the
Stabroek Block utilizing six drillships to test play extensions and
new concepts, evaluate existing discoveries and complete
development wells for the Liza Phase 2 and Payara projects,” said
Mike Cousins, senior vice president of exploration and new ventures
at ExxonMobil. “Our exploration successes continue to increase the
discovered resource and will generate value for both the Guyanese
people and our shareholders.”
Separately, the Liza Unity floating production storage and
offloading (FPSO) vessel set sail from Singapore to Guyana in early
September. The FPSO will be utilized for the Liza Phase 2
development and is expected to begin production in early 2022, with
a capacity to produce approximately 220,000 barrels of oil per day.
ExxonMobil anticipates at least six projects online by 2027 and
sees potential for up to 10 projects to develop its current
discovered recoverable resource base. The Liza Destiny FPSO vessel
is currently producing approximately 120,000 barrels of oil per
day.
The Pinktail discovery is located approximately 21.7 miles (35
kilometers) southeast of the Liza Phase 1 project, which began
production in December 2019, and 3.7 miles (6 kilometers) southeast
of Yellowtail-1. Pinktail was drilled in 5,938 feet (1,810 meters)
of water by the Noble Sam Croft. The Turbot-2 discovery is located
approximately 37 miles (60 kilometers) to the southeast of the Liza
phase one project, and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) from the Turbot-1
discovery announced in October 2017. Turbot-2 was drilled in 5,790
feet (1,765 meters) of water by the Noble Sam Croft.
The Stabroek Block is 6.6 million acres (26,800 square
kilometers). ExxonMobil affiliate Esso Exploration and Production
Guyana Limited is operator and holds 45 percent interest in the
Stabroek Block. Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds 30 percent
interest and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited holds 25 percent
interest.
