據今日石油網2022年5月9日報道，圭亞那如今在全球油氣行業中占有重要地位，圭亞那由美國最大上市石油公司埃克森美孚公司運營的斯塔布魯克區塊迄今已探明可采資源量接近110億桶。

?？松梨诠旧嫌斡蜌獠块T總裁利亞姆·馬倫表示：“自圭亞那在2015年首次獲得石油發現以來，這一數字迄今已占到全球發現的常規資源總量的10%以上?！?/p>

埃克森美孚公司在Barreleye-1、Patwa-1和Lukanani-1井的3個最新發現導致了圭亞那資源估計數的增加——此前的這個數字超過了100億桶油當量。  

圭亞那時下正在全速生產石油，到今年第三季度，?？松梨诠镜牡诙扛∈姐@機“麗莎統一號”將達到日產22萬桶石油的能力，屆時圭亞那的石油日生產能力將達到36萬桶。  

根據馬倫的說法，埃克森美孚公司的規模、先進的技術、一體化、卓越的運營和高技能的人才是其在圭亞那取得成功的支柱。他補充說，這些優勢也使這家美國石油巨頭處于領導能源轉型的位置。

“近140年來，?？松梨诠咎峁┑漠a品幫助人們過上健康、富足的生活，并在不斷變化的世界中茁壯成長。埃克森美孚公司致力于繼續創造可持續的解決方案，提高生活質量，滿足社會不斷變化的需求。”馬倫如是說。

圭亞那有可能實施更多的油氣勘探活動。埃克森美孚公司首席執行官達倫·伍茲預計，該公司今后將需要更大的生產設施。  

伍茲曾表示，?？松梨诠緦Ｗ⒂诠鐏喣撬顾剪斂藚^塊資源的“特性化”，因為這將是一個指導，使圭亞那未來的油氣開發更“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”.
