圭亚那正式成为石油出口国

中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价网站1月20日消息 据TankerTrackers.com网站报道，圭亚那已于本周一正式出口了首批原油。

Tanker Trackers网站报道称，第一批原油（100万桶Liza轻质原油）目前正由美国苏伊士型油轮Yannis P运输。Liza油田由中国中海油赫斯公司（NYSE:HES）和运营商埃克森美孚共同所有，埃克森美孚目前在圭亚那近海拥有15个具有勘探潜能的发现，令所有石油公司羡慕不已。

该项目已经发现了60多亿桶可开采的石油和天然气，不过本月早些时候的一项更新发现将增加这一数字。

目前还不知道埃克森美孚在美国的哪些炼油厂将最终获得新的原油。

总之，埃克森美孚及其合作伙伴预计在五年内每天至少生产75万桶石油，如果此举实现，圭亚那将正式成为全球石油商。

圭亚那最近由埃克森美孚公司和赫斯公司提供的最新发现来自同样位于Stabroek区块的Mako-1井。

埃克森美孚在圭亚那的迅速成功引发了邻国苏里南的一场勘探活动，上周道达尔/阿帕奇公司的合作伙伴刚刚越过边界开采石油，这一发展给苏里南带来了希望，希望它也有一天能成为一个石油大国。

HES股价已从一年前的51.87美元飙升至今天的69.90美元，而XOM股价则从一年前的71.89美元跌至今天的68.56美元。与此同时，阿帕奇的交易量同比几乎持平。

谈到这一里程碑式的时刻，圭亚那代理总理Khemraj Ramjattan称埃克森美孚是业内最勇敢、技术最先进、耐用性最高的公司。

Guyana Officially Becomes Oil Exporter

The world’s newest oil frontier, Guyana, has officially shipped its very first batch of crude oil on Monday, according to TankerTrackers.com—a major oil-first for the South American country.

The first batch of oil—a million barrels of Liza sweet crude oil—is currently on a Suezmax tanker Yannis P headed for the United States, Tanker Trackers said. The Liza field is co-owned by Hess Corp (NYSE: HES), China’s CNOOC, and operator ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM)—who is the envy of all oil companies at the moment for 15 mouthwatering finds offshore Guyana.

The project has uncovered more than 6 billion barrels of recoverable oil and gas, although a more recent find earlier this month will increase that figure.

It is not yet known which of ExxonMobil’s US refineries the new crude will end up in.

All in all, ExxonMobil and its partners are expecting to produce at least 750,000 barrels per day within five years—a figure that if achieved would catapult Guyana into a serious global oil player.

Guyana’s most recent discovery courtesy of Exxon and Hess was from Mako-1, which is also in the Stabroek block.

Exxon’s quick success in Guyana has triggered an exploration campaign in neighboring Suriname, with a Total/Apache partnership striking oil right across the border just last week. The development brings hope to Suriname that it, too, could one day become an oil powerhouse.

HES stock has jumped from $51.87 a year ago, to $69.90 today, while XOM is trading down from $71.89 a year ago to $68.56 today. Meanwhile, Apache is trading nearly flat year over year.

Speaking of the landmark moment, Guyana’s Acting Prime Minister Khemraj Ramjattan called ExxonMobil “the bravest, the most technologically driven with a record of durability second to none in the industry.”
