“Production of crude oil over the whole region will ramp up dramatically in the course of the next few years,” says Edward Cooper, General Manager of Bourbon Guyana, a marine vessel service provider on contract with ExxonMobil.

“The largest operator is ExxonMobil, in a consortium with Hess and CNOOC, with the Stabroek, Canje and Kaieteur blocks expected to total approximately 15 billion barrels of reserves,” Cooper said.

The head of Bourbon Guyana operations said Stabroek is a 37-well project, 15 of which are now ongoing.

“The other blocks in the region owned by the ExxonMobil consortium are Canje, which consists of 15 wells of which 3 are ongoing, and Kaieteur, which is slated to start up in March 2022,” he stated.
