Stabroek Block offshore Guyana. Drilling at Longtail-3 encountered 230 feet (70 meters) of net pay, including newly identified, high quality hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs below the original Longtail-1 discovery intervals. The well is located approx. two miles (3.5 kms) south of the
Longtail-1 well. It was drilled in more than 6,100 feet (1860 meters) of water by the Stena DrillMAX.
Two drillships added in first quarter 2021; six drillships now operating offshore Guyana
Additional drilling activity to support Stabroek development
More than 2,600 Guyanese supporting overall activities
'Longtail-3, combined with our recent discovery at Uaru-2, has the potential to increase our resource estimate within the Stabroek block, demonstrating further growth of this world-class resource and our high-potential development opportunities offshore Guyana,' said Mike Cousins, senior vice president of exploration and new ventures at ExxonMobil.
