US energy giant ExxonMobil has said the company made two additional discoveries offshore Guyana at the Tilapia-1 and Haimara-1 wells, bringing the total number of discoveries on the Stabroek Block to 12. The discoveries build on the previously announced estimated recoverable resource of more than 5 billion oil-equivalent barrels on the Stabroek block.

According to ExxonMobil, Tilapia-1 is the fourth discovery in the Turbot area that includes the Turbot, Longtail and Pluma discoveries. Tilapia-1 encountered approximately 93 metres of high-quality oil-bearing sandstone reservoir and was drilled to a depth of 5,726 metres in 1,783 metres of water. The well is located approximately 5.5 kilometres west of the Longtail-1 well.

The Noble Tom Madden drillship began drilling the well on January 7 and will next drill the Yellowtail-1 well, approximately 10 kilometres west of Tilapia-1 in the Turbot area, ExxonMobil said, adding that Baseline 4-D seismic data acquisition is underway.
