The US supermajor will drill the Tanager-1 well on Guyana’s Kaieteur permit before an adjusted mid-September deadline, sources with direct knowledge of the project told Upstream.
The drillship Stena Carron has been lined up to drill the Tanager prospect in 2900 metres of water and to a targeted total depth of 8000 metres, Upstream was told.
Canje block
In the case of the other deep-water block, called Canje, there is no agreed deadline between the partners, only an official well commitment, which is still more than two years from the time limitation period.
On Canje, ExxonMobil had targeted the Bulletwood prospect, at a water depth of 2800 metres.
Here, ExxonMobil is said to be focusing principally on a confined channel in the Upper Cretaceous, with the possibility of pursuing secondary Lower Tertiary and deeper Lower Cretaceous targets, but it is no longer clear if these plans will still go ahead in 2020
