據(jù)世界石油2020年9月8日紐約報(bào)道，美國綜合性石油公司赫斯公司（Hess Corp.）宣布，赫斯公司日前在部署在圭亞那海上的Redtail-1井又獲得了一個(gè)重要石油發(fā)現(xiàn)，這是在圭亞那斯塔布魯克區(qū)塊迄今獲得的第18個(gè)重要石油發(fā)現(xiàn)，這一區(qū)塊先前宣布的總可采儲(chǔ)量估計(jì)已超過80億桶油當(dāng)量。

Redtail-1井在鉆進(jìn)過程中鉆遇了大約232英尺(70米)厚的高質(zhì)量含油砂巖，發(fā)現(xiàn)井完鉆時(shí)的總深度達(dá)到了6164英尺(1878米)。發(fā)現(xiàn)井位于Yellowtail油田西北大約1.5英里(2.5公里)處，是斯塔布魯克區(qū)塊東南地區(qū)迄今獲得的第9個(gè)石油發(fā)現(xiàn)。

除了Redtail-1井發(fā)現(xiàn)以外，在Yellowtail-2井的鉆井作業(yè)在Yellowtail-1井附近和下面還發(fā)現(xiàn)了額外的儲(chǔ)層層段。Yellowtail-2井發(fā)現(xiàn)了69英尺(21米)厚的高質(zhì)量含油油藏，這是在斯塔布魯克區(qū)塊獲得的第17個(gè)石油發(fā)現(xiàn)。赫斯公司目前正在評(píng)估這一資源，以便與附近的其它發(fā)現(xiàn)一起開發(fā)。

Hess strikes deepwater oil offshore Guyana

Hess Corporation announced another oil discovery offshore Guyana at the Redtail-1 well, the 18th discovery on the Stabroek Block, which will add to the previously announced gross discovered recoverable resource estimate for the block of more than 8 billion barrels of oil equivalent.

Redtail-1 encountered approximately 232 feet (70 meters) of high quality oil bearing sandstone and was drilled in 6,164 feet (1,878 meters) of water. The well is located approximately 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) northwest of the Yellowtail discovery and is the ninth discovery in the southeast area of the block.

In addition to the Redtail-1 discovery, drilling at Yellowtail-2 resulted in the discovery of additional reservoir intervals adjacent to and below the Yellowtail-1 discovery. Yellowtail-2 encountered 69 feet (21 meters) of high quality oil bearing reservoirs, which comprise the 17th discovery on the Stabroek Block. This resource is currently being evaluated for development in conjunction with other nearby discoveries.
