据Mercopress 4月20日消息，根据其合作伙伴墨菲石油公司称，美国埃克森美孚公司正在巴西东北部近海的一个新区域开采石油和天然气，储量可能高达10亿桶石油和天然气当量。
墨菲石油公司首席执行官Roger Jenkins在向投资者的介绍中介绍了巴西近海Cutthroat-1油田的最新情况。
如果勘探成功，这将是埃克森作为运营商在巴西发现的首个石油开采项目。埃克森美孚在巴西东北部的Sergipe-Alagoas盆地拥有50%的股份，在该地区处于领先地位。巴西生产商Enauta持有30%的股份，总部位于休斯敦的墨菲石油公司持有20%的股份。
Jenkins说，埃克森美孚于2月20日开始了Cutthroat-1油田的钻探活动，并将在未来几周内完成。
这是三家公司在Sergipe-Alagoas盆地九个区块中的第一口探井。他说，Cutthroat地区的总资源潜力在5亿至10.5亿桶当量石油之间。

Exxon Mobil drilling offshore in Brazil's Sergipe/Alagoas basin with a potential of a billion barrels
United States Exxon Mobil Corp. is drilling in a new area offshore in the northeast of Brazil that could have as much as a billion barrels of oil and gas equivalent, according to its partner Murphy Oil.
Murphy Oil CEO Roger Jenkins gave the update on the Cutthroat-1 prospect offshore Brazil in a presentation to investors.
If exploration is successful, it would be Exxon’s first oil discovery in Brazil as an operator. Exxon leads the prospect in the Sergipe-Alagoas basin, northeast of Brazil, with a 50% stake. It is joined by Brazilian producer Enauta with 30% and Houston-based Murphy Oil Corp with 20%.
Exxon kicked off drilling activity on the Cutthroat-1 prospect on Feb. 20 and should conclude in the coming weeks, Jenkins said.
This is the first exploratory well of the nine blocks the three companies hold together in the Sergipe-Alagoas basin. The Cutthroat area has an upward gross resource potential between 500 million to 1.050 billion barrels of equivalent oil, he said.
