据今日石油网2022年5月9日报道,圭亚那如今在全球油气行业中占有重要地位,圭亚那由美国最大上市石油公司埃克森美孚公司运营的斯塔布鲁克区块迄今已探明可采资源量接近110亿桶。
埃克森美孚公司上游油气部门总裁利亚姆·马伦表示:“自圭亚那在2015年首次获得石油发现以来,这一数字迄今已占到全球发现的常规资源总量的10%以上。”
埃克森美孚公司在Barreleye-1、Patwa-1和Lukanani-1井的3个最新发现导致了圭亚那资源估计数的增加——此前的这个数字超过了100亿桶油当量。
圭亚那时下正在全速生产石油,到今年第三季度,埃克森美孚公司的第二部浮式钻机“丽莎统一号”将达到日产22万桶石油的能力,届时圭亚那的石油日生产能力将达到36万桶。
根据马伦的说法,埃克森美孚公司的规模、先进的技术、一体化、卓越的运营和高技能的人才是其在圭亚那取得成功的支柱。他补充说,这些优势也使这家美国石油巨头处于领导能源转型的位置。
“近140年来,埃克森美孚公司提供的产品帮助人们过上健康、富足的生活,并在不断变化的世界中茁壮成长。埃克森美孚公司致力于继续创造可持续的解决方案,提高生活质量,满足社会不断变化的需求。”马伦如是说。
圭亚那有可能实施更多的油气勘探活动。埃克森美孚公司首席执行官达伦·伍兹预计,该公司今后将需要更大的生产设施。
伍兹曾表示,埃克森美孚公司专注于圭亚那斯塔布鲁克区块资源的“特性化”,因为这将是一个指导,使圭亚那未来的油气开发更“具有成本效益”。

Guyana holds over 10% of all conventional resource finds since 2015
Guyana has made its mark in the global oil and gas industry with an estimated proven recoverable resource of nearly 11 billion oil-equivalent barrels in the ExxonMobil-operated Stabroek Block.
“That figure accounts for more than 10% of all the conventional resource finds in the world since 2015 when Guyana first discovered oil,” said Liam Mallon, ExxonMobil’s President of Upstream Oil and Gas.
The company’s three latest discoveries at the Barreleye-1, Patwa-1, and Lukanani-1 wells led to the increased resource estimate – a figure that had previously stood over 10 billion oil-equivalent barrels.
Guyana is producing oil full steam ahead, and by the third quarter of 2022, will hit production capacity of 360,000 barrels of oil per day (b/d), when Exxon’s second floater, the Liza Unity, achieves its nameplate capacity of 220,000 b/d.
According to Mallon, ExxonMobil’s scale, advanced technologies, integration, operations excellence, and highly skilled people stand on the backbone of its success in Guyana. Those very strengths also put the oil major in a position to lead in the energy transition, he added.
“For nearly 140 years, ExxonMobil has supplied products that help people live healthy, prosperous lives and thrive in an ever-changing world. We’re committed to continuing to create sustainable solutions that improve quality of life and meet society’s evolving needs,” Mallon said.
And more exploration activities are on the cards for Guyana. The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Darren Woods, anticipates a need for even bigger production facilities.
Woods had said ExxonMobil is focused on the “characterisation” of the resources in the Stabroek Block, as this will be a guide to make future developments more “cost-effective”.
