«US supermajor ExxonMobil has resumed appraisal work at one of its early discoveries offshore Guyana, a large area close to the central portion of the prolific Stabroek block that has been selected as its seventh project in the country.
ExxonMobil picked Hammerhead at its latest development in Guyana and expects next year to make a final investment decision to officially sanction it.
The proposed project will feature a floating production, storage and offloading vessel able to process between 120,000 and 180,000 barrels per day of oil and from 60 million to 120 million cubic feet per day of natural gas.
Hammerhead was discovered in August 2018 after ExxonMobil unlocked about 60 metres of high-quality oil-bearing sandstone reservoirs a few kilometres southwest of the Liza and Payara field.
Two appraisal wells were successfully drilled in 2019, but in an effort to verify the presence of additional volumes, ExxonMobil started drilling the Hammerhead-4 well.
According to updated information from Guyana’s Maritime Administration Department, the Hammerhead-4 appraisal well is being drilled with the Stena Drilling drillship Stena Carron.»
