ExxonMobil has spud its next exploration well offshore Guyana after pausing its drilling campaign momentarily for a well test at its Payara discovery.
The Stena Carron drillship spud Snoek on late on 22 February on the Stabroek block offshore Guyana, an ExxonMobil representative told Upstream.
The well is located about 6 miles to the south-east of ExxonMobil’s Liza discovery.
Snoek is ExxonMobil’s fourth exploration well in its drilling campaign offshore Guyana, which began in 2015 with the Liza discovery that is estimated to contain more than 1 billion barrels of recoverable oil.
