The challenges being faced by ExxonMobil were also reported on by Upstream Online. The international online news outfit said that ExxonMobil is also facing a difficult decision on whether to go ahead with planned exploration wells on the Canje and Kaieteur block in the second quarter of 2020.
Upstream said it learned that ExxonMobil had lined up the drillship Noble Tom Madden to drill the Bulletwood prospect at a water depth of 2800 metres in the Canje block and the drillship Stena Carron for the Tanager prospect in 2900 metres of water on the Kaieteur block.
Upstream said that Tanager would be the deeper of the two, with a target total depth of 8300 metres, right down to the source rock. As for Bulletwood, Upstream understands that ExxonMobil will be focusing principally on a confined channel in the Upper Cretaceous, though there have been suggestions that the well could also probe secondary Lower Tertiary and deeper Lower Cretaceous targets.
