埃克森美孚公司的目标是在圭亚那近海Stabroek区块短期内总产量达到62万桶/天，第三个项目Payara的启动，该项目的产能为22万桶/天。

埃克森美孚和赫斯公司在 11 月 14 日分别发布的新闻稿中表示，该项目提前启动，随着新油井的投产，预计将在 2024 年上半年达到其铭牌产能。

总部位于德克萨斯州的埃克森美孚预计到 2027 年底将在 Stabroek 拥有 6 座浮式生产储油卸油装置 (FPSO)，总产能为 1.2 MMbbl/d。Hess 重申，预计有多达 10 座 FPSO 的开发潜力Stabroek 总发现可采资源量超过 11 Bboe。

第一个项目 Liza 一期（使用 FPSO Destiny）和第二个项目 Liza 二期（使用 FPSO Unity）的总产量约为 400,000 桶/天。第三个项目 Payara 的加入将使产量达到 62 万桶/天。据 Hess 称，Payara 项目的 FPSO 名为 Prosperity，停泊在水深约 6,300 英尺的地方，将开发估计超过 600 MMbbl 的石油资源库。

斯塔布鲁克的另外两个项目正在进行中。第四个项目 Yellowtail 将增加产量 25 万桶/天，第五个项目 Uaru 将另外增加 25 万桶/天。埃克森美孚继续与圭亚那政府合作，以获得第六个 Whiptail 项目的监管批准。

埃克森美孚与合作伙伴赫斯 (30%) 和中海油(25%)共同经营 Stabroek，持有 45% 的权益。雪佛龙公司 (Chevron Corp.)以530 亿美元的全股票交易收购赫斯公司 (Hess)，这家总部位于加州的公司将与埃克森美孚 (Exxon) 合作，成为该地区乃至整个国家最具主导地位的两家公司。

该公司在新闻稿中表示，“埃克森美孚在圭亚那的开发项目产生的温室气体强度比埃克森美孚上游投资组合的平均水平低约 30%”。

埃克森美孚在新闻稿中援引 Rystad Energy 的详细信息表示，圭亚那项目“在排放强度方面也是世界上表现最好的项目之一，超过了全球 75% 的石油和天然气生产资产”。

Exxon Mobil Corp. is eyeing gross production of 620,000 bbl/d offshore Guyana in the Stabroek Block over the short-term with the start-up of its third project Payara, which has a production capacity of 220,000 bbl/d.

The project started ahead of schedule and is expected to reach its nameplate production capacity in the first half of 2024 as new wells are brought online, both Exxon and Hess Corp. said Nov. 14 in separate press releases.

Texas-based Exxon expects to have six floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units in Stabroek with a gross production capacity of 1.2 MMbbl/d by year-end 2027. Hess reiterated there is potential for up to 10 FPSOs to develop the estimated gross discovered recoverable resources in Stabroek of over 11 Bboe.

Gross combined production from first project Liza Phase 1 (using the FPSO Destiny) and the second one Liza Phase 2 (using the FPSO Unity) is around 400,000 bbl/d. The addition of the third project Payara will take production to 620,000 bbl/d. The FPSO for the Payara project, named Prosperity, is moored in water depth of around 6,300 ft and will develop a resource base estimated at over 600 MMbbl of oil, according to Hess.

Two additional projects in Stabroek are in progress. The fourth project Yellowtail will add production of 250,000 bbl/d, while the fifth project Uaru will add another 250,000 bbl/d. Exxon continues to work with the Guyana government to secure regulatory approvals for the sixth project Whiptail.

Exxon operates Stabroek with a 45% interest with partners Hess (30%) and CNOOC (25%). Chevron Corp.’s $53 billion all-stock deal to acquire Hess will see the California-based company team up with Exxon as the two most dominant players in both the block and the country as a whole.

“Exxon’s Guyana developments are generating around 30% lower greenhouse gas intensity than the average of Exxon Mobil’s upstream portfolio,” the company said in its press release.

The Guyana projects are “also among the best performing in the world with respect to emissions intensity, outpacing 75% of global oil and gas producing assets,” Exxon said in the release, citing details from Rystad Energy.
