石油和天然气生产商CGX Energy Inc.和Frontera Energy Corp.于1月23日表示,他们的合资企业已开始在圭亚那近海钻Wei-1井。

该合资企业原定于去年 11 月开始钻探,但由于承包商 Noble Corp. 因特立尼达岛的债务而推迟。

Wei-1 是这些公司承诺在圭亚那 Corentyne 区块钻探的两口井之一。另一口井 Kawa-1 在 5 月开采出轻质油气和凝析气。

圭亚那和邻国苏里南已成为最令人向往的石油勘探热点之一。

该合资公司表示,圭亚那已批准了 Corentyne 区块北部的评估计划,但未来的钻探将取决于 Wei-1 的积极结果。

继埃克森美孚公司牵头的集团于 2019 年开始生产后,预计该财团将成为将圭亚那石油勘探项目转入开发阶段的下一个财团。

Frontera, CGX Start Drilling Wei-1 Well in Guyana

The joint venture between CGX Energy Inc. and Frontera Energy Corp. begins drilling in Guyana as the region becomes an oil exploration hot spot.

Oil and gas producers CGX Energy Inc. and Frontera Energy Corp. said on Jan. 23 their joint venture had begun drilling Wei-1 well offshore Guyana.

The joint venture was scheduled to begin drilling last year November, but delayed it as contractor Noble Corp. was tied up with obligations in Trinidad.

Wei-1 is one of two wells on Guyana's Corentyne block that the companies have committed to drill. The other well, Kawa-1, struck light oil and gas condensate in May.

Guyana and neighboring Suriname have become one of the most desired oil exploration hot spots.

The JV said Guyana has approved an appraisal plan for the northern section of the Corentyne block, but future drilling would depend on positive results from Wei-1.

It is expected to be the next consortium to move oil exploration projects in Guyana to the development phase, after a group led by Exxon Mobil Corp. began production in 2019.
