Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Exxon Mobil Corp. has mobilized a drillship to drill and exploratory test in offshore Guyana’s Kaieteur Block. The venture, #1-Tanager, is targeting prospective resources of 256.2 MMbbl of oil. Current estimates for the site range from 135.6 MMbbl to 451.6 MMbbl of oil. The planned depth of 8,000 m will be targeting the stacked Maastrichtian to Turonian reservoir intervals in the southern part of the block. The #1-Tanager is the first well in a potential multiwell drilling campaign being operated by Exxon Mobil on the Kaieteur and Canje Blocks over the next 6 months to 12 months. This campaign will evaluate high impact, Upper Cretaceous prospects in the Liza play fairway with possible multiple stacked reservoir targets. Irving, Texas-based Exxon Mobil is the operator and holds 35% interest, along with partners Hess Corp. and Cataleya Energy.
