赫斯公司在圭亚那海上获重要深水石油发现

据世界石油2020年9月8日纽约报道，美国综合性石油公司赫斯公司（Hess Corp.）宣布，赫斯公司日前在部署在圭亚那海上的Redtail-1井又获得了一个重要石油发现，这是在圭亚那斯塔布鲁克区块迄今获得的第18个重要石油发现，这一区块先前宣布的总可采储量估计已超过80亿桶油当量。

Redtail-1井在钻进过程中钻遇了大约232英尺(70米)厚的高质量含油砂岩，发现井完钻时的总深度达到了6164英尺(1878米)。发现井位于Yellowtail油田西北大约1.5英里(2.5公里)处，是斯塔布鲁克区块东南地区迄今获得的第9个石油发现。

除了Redtail-1井发现以外，在Yellowtail-2井的钻井作业在Yellowtail-1井附近和下面还发现了额外的储层层段。Yellowtail-2井发现了69英尺(21米)厚的高质量含油油藏，这是在斯塔布鲁克区块获得的第17个石油发现。赫斯公司目前正在评估这一资源，以便与附近的其它发现一起开发。

Hess strikes deepwater oil offshore Guyana

Hess Corporation announced another oil discovery offshore Guyana at the Redtail-1 well, the 18th discovery on the Stabroek Block, which will add to the previously announced gross discovered recoverable resource estimate for the block of more than 8 billion barrels of oil equivalent.

Redtail-1 encountered approximately 232 feet (70 meters) of high quality oil bearing sandstone and was drilled in 6,164 feet (1,878 meters) of water. The well is located approximately 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) northwest of the Yellowtail discovery and is the ninth discovery in the southeast area of the block.

In addition to the Redtail-1 discovery, drilling at Yellowtail-2 resulted in the discovery of additional reservoir intervals adjacent to and below the Yellowtail-1 discovery. Yellowtail-2 encountered 69 feet (21 meters) of high quality oil bearing reservoirs, which comprise the 17th discovery on the Stabroek Block. This resource is currently being evaluated for development in conjunction with other nearby discoveries.
