- Snoek well encounters more than 82 feet
(25 meters) of high-quality, oil-bearing sandstone reservoirs
- Well is located about 5 miles southeast
of Liza-1 discovery
- ExxonMobil continues to evaluate full

Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) announced today positive
results on the Snoek well offshore Guyana, confirming a new
discovery on the Stabroek Block. Drilling targeted similar aged
reservoirs as encountered in previous discoveries at Liza and
Payara.
“The latest discovery at Snoek demonstrates the continued
success we have achieved in this technically complex play, which is
just part of the significant exploration province offshore Guyana,”
said Steve Greenlee, president of ExxonMobil Exploration
Company.
ExxonMobil affiliate Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Ltd.
commenced drilling of the Snoek well on Feb. 22, 2017 and
encountered 82 feet (25 meters) of high-quality, oil-bearing
sandstone reservoirs. The well was safely drilled to 16,978 feet
(5,175 meters) in 5,128 feet (1,563 meters) of water on March 18.
The Snoek well is located in the southern portion of the Stabroek
Block, approximately 5 miles (9 km) to the southeast of the 2015
Liza-1 discovery.
Following completion of the Snoek well, the Stena Carron
drillship has moved back to the Liza area to drill the Liza-4
well.
“As we continue to evaluate the full potential of the broader
Stabroek Block, we are also taking the necessary steps to ensure
the safe, cost-efficient and responsible development of this
world-class resource, which can provide long-term, sustainable
benefits to the people of Guyana,” said Greenlee.
The Stabroek Block is 6.6 million acres (26,800 square
kilometers). Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited is
operator and holds 45 percent interest in the Stabroek Block. Hess
Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds 30 percent interest and CNOOC Nexen
Petroleum Guyana Limited holds 25 percent interest.
