Exxon’s Jabillo disappoints, Sapote up next
ExxonMobil has drilled a disappointing well offshore Guyana that failed to encounter commercial hydrocarbons.
The US operator spudded the Jabillo-1 well on the Canje block, in 2,903 metres of water. The Stena Carron drillship reached a planned target depth of 6,475 metres, JHI Associates reported.
Exxon will now drill the Sapote-1 well, more than 100 km to the southeast. This is working in a new depositional setting, linked to the Berbice canyon system. The statement said this well was closer to Upper Cretaceous discoveries in the Stabroek Block and Suriname’s Block 58.
