ExxonMobil made 20th discovery in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana

Irving (Texas), September 9 - Neftegaz.RU. ExxonMobil has made another significant discovery at the Pinktail well in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana.

The Pinktail well encountered 67 m of net pay in high-quality hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone reservoirs.
In addition to the successful appraisal of the Turbot discovery, the Turbot-2 well encountered 13 m of net pay in a newly identified, high-quality hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone reservoir separate from the 23 m of high quality, oil-bearing sandstone reservoir pay encountered in the original Turbot-1 discovery well.

Mike Cousins, senior VP of exploration & new ventures at ExxonMobil, commented:

• These discoveries are part of an extensive well program in the Stabroek Block utilizing 6 drillships to test play extensions and new concepts, evaluate existing discoveries and complete development wells for the Liza Phase 2 and Payara projects
• Our exploration successes continue to increase the discovered resource and will generate value for both the Guyanese people and our shareholders
