埃克森美孚公司透露,Sailfin-1井在水下4616英尺处钻遇了312英尺厚的含烃砂岩,而Yarrow-1井在水下3560英尺处钻遇了75英尺厚的含烃砂岩。
埃克森美孚公司没有透露其对新发现的原油或天然气储量的估计,但上调了此前对该地区较早发现的第三季度产量的预测。
埃克森美孚公司表示,其在圭亚那海上的开发和生产速度“远远超过了行业平均水平”,埃克森美孚公司批准的两个圭亚那海上项目丽莎一期和丽莎二期目前的原油产量超过了设计能力,平均日产量已接近36万桶。这家美国超级石油巨头预计,到2030年结束前,圭亚那的原油日总产量将突破100万桶。
埃克森美孚公司表示,第三个项目帕拉亚预计将在2023年底前启动,而第四个项目Yellowtail可能会在2025年投产。
埃克森美孚公司是斯塔布鲁克区块的运营商,持有该区块45%的权益,其合作伙伴美国赫斯公司持有30%权益。埃克森美孚公司今年的油气产量远低于历史最高水平,年中的平均日产量为370万桶油当量,与去年持平,但比2016年的410万桶有大量低了近9%。
埃克森美孚公司的股价目前处于历史高点,年初至今上涨了近70%,其市值为4423亿美元,是全球第十大市值最高的上市公司。埃克森美孚公司将于10月28日公布其第三季度业绩,预计该公司将公布又一个强劲的季度业绩。IBES Refinitiv预计,埃克森美孚公司今年的年利润将达到创纪录的548亿美元。

Exxon Makes More Oil And Gas Discoveries Offshore Guyana
U.S. oil and gas major Exxon Mobil has announced on Wednesday that it has made two more discoveries at the Sailfin-1 and Yarrow-1 wells in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana, bringing discoveries on the block to more than 30 since 2015.
Exxon revealed that the Sailfin-1 well was drilled in 4,616 feet of water and encountered 312 feet of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone, while the Yarrow-1 well was drilled in 3,560 feet of water and encountered 75 feet of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone.
Exxon did not disclose how much crude oil or gas it estimates the new discoveries to contain, but hiked a previous output forecast for the third quarter from older discoveries in the region.
The company says it has ramped up development and production offshore Guyana at a pace that "far exceeds the industry average”, Exxon’s two sanctioned offshore Guyana projects, Liza Phase 1 and Liza Phase 2, are now producing above design capacity and have already achieved an average of nearly 360K bbl/day of oil. The supermajor expects total production from Guyana to cross a million barrels per day by the end of this decade.
Exxon said a third project, Payara, is expected to launch by year-end 2023 while a fourth project, Yellowtail, could kick off operations in 2025.
Exxon is the operator of the Stabroek block where it holds a 45% interest while partners Hess Corp. (NYSE: HES) hold a 30% interest, respectively. Exxon’s oil and gas production are well below record levels, averaging 3.7M boe/day at midyear, in-line with last year but nearly 9% below 4.1M boe/day set in 2016.
XOM stock is currently trading at all-time highs having gained nearly 70% YTD, while its market cap of $442.3B makes it the world's 10th most valuable publicly traded company. Exxon is expected to report another strong quarter when it discloses Q3 results on October 28, with IBES Refinitiv estimating the company will report a record $54.8B annual profit this year.
