ExxonMobil Announces New Discovery Offshore Guyana
ExxonMobil announced a new discovery today at the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana.
The “Longtail-3” well was drilled by the Stena DrillMAX drillship in water of more than 6,100 feet deep. The company said drilling encountered 230 feet (70 meters) of net pay, including newly identified and high-quality hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs below the original “Longtail-1” discovery, located about two miles to the north.
Stena DrillMAX is one of two drillships ExxonMobil added to the area in the first quarter of 2021 (the other being the Noble Sam Croft), bringing its total to six drillships now operating in Guyana in support of the company’s 15-well campaign at the Stabroek block.
