(WO) Reuters has reported that ExxonMobil is planning a potential 30-well drilling campaign for its seventh oil and gas project offshore Guyana, named Hammerhead. <\/p>\n
ExxonMobil's Liza Destiny <\/p>\n
Hammerhead aims to start production in 2029, boosting Guyana's oil production capacity to over 1.4 MMbpd. <\/p>\n
Exxon, along with partners Hess Corp and China's CNOOC, expects Hammerhead to produce between 120,000 and 180,000 bpd, which is less than the 250,000 bpd from its largest vessels offshore Guyana. <\/p>\n
The project will include a floating production unit, converted from a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC), capable of storing 1.4 to 2 MMboe. This unit will be located 15 km (9 miles) southwest of Exxon's Liza Destiny vessel. <\/p>\n
According to ExxonMobils website, Hammerhead was discovered in August 2018. Hammerhead is ExxonMobils ninth oil discovery in the prolific Stabroek Block offshore Guyana. <\/p>\n
