Continuous Success Validates ExxonMobil’s Ambitious Exploration Strategy, Increasing Estimate of Stabroek Block to Nearly 11 Billion Barrels of Oil

ExxonMobil, the U.S. oil giant, reported yesterday (04/26) in a relevant fact to the global market that it found, at 1,170 meters of water, in the Barreleye-1 well, sandstone containing hydrocarbons. Meanwhile, drilling in Patwa-1 encountered sandstone containing hydrocarbons at 6,315 feet (1,925 meters) of water. The Lukanani-1 well found 115 feet (35 meters) of sandstone containing hydrocarbons and was drilled to a water depth of 4,068 feet (1,240 meters). Operations are ongoing in Barreleye-1 and Lukanani-1.

The three discoveries are southeast of the Liza and Payara developments and bring the total to five discoveries made by ExxonMobil in Guyana in 2022.

“These discoveries and the updated resource estimate increase our confidence in our ambitious exploration strategy for the Stabroek Block and will help inform our future development plans for the southeastern part of the block,” said Liam Mallon, president of ExxonMobil Upstream Company. “ExxonMobil remains committed to delivering value at an accelerated pace to the people of Guyana, our partners, and shareholders, and providing reliable affordable energy to meet growing demand worldwide.”

Currently, ExxonMobil has four sanctioned projects in Guyana. Liza Phase 1 is producing approximately 130,000 barrels per day using the floating production storage and offloading vessel Liza Destiny (FPSO). Liza Phase 2, which began production in February, is steadily increasing its capacity to 220,000 barrels per day using the FPSO Liza Unity. The third project, Payara, is expected to produce 220,000 barrels per day; construction on its production vessel, the Prosperity FPSO, is proceeding approximately five months ahead of schedule, with startup likely before the end of 2023. The fourth project, Yellowtail, is expected to produce 250,000 barrels per day when the ONE GUYANA FPSO comes online in 2025.

The Stabroek Block in Guyana spans 6.6 million acres (26,800 square kilometers). ExxonMobil’s affiliate, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited, is the operator and holds a 45% stake in the Block. Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds a 30% stake, and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited holds a 25% stake.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.
