据今日油价网站1月5日消息 美国石油巨头埃克森美孚公司周三表示，公司在圭亚那近海的Stabroek区块又发现了两处石油，这增加了此前公布的该区块100亿桶油当量可采资源量的估计。
埃克森美孚在圭亚那附近区块的Fangtooth-1和Lau Lau-1井发现了高质量的含油气砂岩储层，该区块在未来几年继续是美国公司的优先勘探和生产区域之一。
埃克森美孚勘探和新企业高级副总裁迈克·卡森斯表示：“这两项发现增加了我们对该资源的了解，也增加了我们对该区块勘探潜力的持续信心。我们认为，迄今为止的许多发现可能导致多达10个开发项目。”
自2015年首次在圭亚那近海发现石油以来，埃克森美孚已经在这个南美国家的海域发现了20多处石油。
目前，圭亚那希望利用过去五年中发现的大量石油和天然气，建立一个以自身能源为动力的经济。
由于埃克森美孚在圭亚那近海的巨大发现，这个南美国家在2020年初成为原油出口国。在过去两年中，该美国石油巨头及其在多产Stabroek区块的合作伙伴赫斯又发现了十几处石油，而Liza一期项目对石油公司和圭亚那来说都十分有利可图。
赫斯表示，Liza一期和二期开发项目的收支平衡分别为每桶35美元和25美元左右。Liza二期的启动预计在2022年年中通过浮式、生产、储存和卸载船（FPSO）实施，每天可生产高达22万桶石油。
埃克森美孚今天还表示，帕亚拉油田Stabroek区块的第三个项目Prosperity FPSO船舶的船体已经完工，新加坡正在进行上部组块施工活动，计划在2024年投产。第四个潜在项目Yellowtail的油田开发计划和环境影响评估已提交给政府和监管部门审查。

ExxonMobil Announces Two New Oil Discoveries In Guyana
ExxonMobil has made two more discoveries in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana, which add to the previously announced 10 billion oil-equivalent barrels recoverable resource estimate for the block, the U.S. supermajor said on Wednesday.
Exxon struck high-quality oil and hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone reservoirs at the Fangtooth-1 and Lau Lau-1 wells in the block off Guyana, which continues to be one of the U.S. corporation’s priority exploration and production areas for the next few years.
“Both discoveries increase our understanding of the resource, our continued confidence in the block’s exploration potential, and our view that the many discoveries to date could result in up to 10 development projects,” said Mike Cousins, senior vice president of exploration and new ventures at ExxonMobil.
Since 2015, when it first struck oil offshore Guyana, Exxon has made more than 20 discoveries in the waters of the South American nation.
Now Guyana wants to capitalize on the large oil and gas discoveries over the past half-decade to build up an economy powered by its own energy resources.
The South American nation became a crude oil exporter in early 2020, thanks to Exxon’s huge discoveries offshore Guyana. Over the past two years, the U.S. supermajor and Hess Corp, its partner in the prolific Stabroek Block, have made a dozen more discoveries, while the Liza Phase 1 project is very profitable for the oil corporations and for Guyana.
Liza Phase 1 and 2 developments break even at around $35 a barrel and $25 per barrel Brent, respectively, Hess says. Liza Phase 2 start-up is expected in the middle of 2022 via a floating, production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) designed to produce up to 220,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd).
Exxon also said today that the hull for the Prosperity FPSO vessel, the third project on the Stabroek block at the Payara field, is complete, and topside construction activities are ongoing in Singapore for planned production start-up in 2024. The Field Development Plan and Environmental Impact Assessment for the fourth potential project, Yellowtail, have been submitted for government and regulatory review.
