埃克森美孚准备在圭亚那开采新油井

据世界天然气网3月9日消息，Bulletwood-1是计划于2021年在Canje区块钻探的三口井中的第一口。

该井于2021年1月进行了钻探，其结果于上周晚些时候公布。埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)未能在Bulletwood-1井中发现商业油气。

该井使用Stena Carron钻井船进行钻探，计划目标深度为6690米。同一艘钻井船现在还在钻第二口勘探井Jabillo-1。

Canje区块目前由埃克森美孚的子公司Esso Exploration & Production圭亚那有限公司(35%)、道达尔(35%)、JHI(17.5%)和中大西洋油气公司(12.5%)共同运营。

由于Westmount在JHI已发行股本中拥有约7.7%的权益，因此Westmount间接持有Canje区块的权益。

在2018年将农场出售给道达尔后，JHI为Jabillo-1井的钻探提供了资金，并为钻探其他油井提供了资金。

Westmount Energy在周二的更新中指出，圭亚那海事管理部宣布，Stena Carron钻井船将于2021年3月10日开始在Jabillo-1井场进行钻井作业。

据Westmount称，jabilo -1是一个大约有10亿桶石油储量的区块，目标是晚白垩世的盆地底扇。

ExxonMobil set to spud new Guyana well

Bulletwood-1 was the first of three wells scheduled to be drilled on the Canje block in 2021.

The well was spud in January 2021 and its results were revealed late last week. ExxonMobil failed to find commercial hydrocarbons in the Bulletwood-1 well.

The well was drilled using the Stena Carron drillship to its planned target depth of 6,690 meters. The same drillship now also drill the second exploration well, the Jabillo-1.

The Canje Block is currently operated by an ExxonMobil subsidiary, Esso Exploration & Production Guyana Limited (35 per cent), with Total (35 per cent), JHI (17.5 per cent) and Mid-Atlantic Oil & Gas Inc. (12.5 per cent) as partners.

Westmount holds an indirect interest in the Canje Block as a result of its circa 7.7 per cent interest in the issued share capital of JHI.

Following a 2018 farm-out to Total, JHI is carried for the drilling of the Jabillo-1 well and is funded for the drilling of additional wells.

In an update on Tuesday, Westmount Energy noted the announcement by the Maritime Administration Department, Guyana that the Stena Carron drillship would start drilling operations at the Jabillo-1 well site on 10 March 2021.

According to Westmount, the Jabillo-1 is a circa 1,000 MMbbl oil prospect targeting a Late Cretaceous, Liza-age equivalent, basin floor fan.
