ExxonMobil, one of the global energy giants, made its first oil discovery in 2024 at the Bluefin well, located in the Stabroek block off the coast of Guyana. Meanwhile, Petrobras awaits the release of the environmental license to drill a well off the coast of Amapá.

The discovery at the Bluefin oil well included about 197 feet (60 meters) of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone, being drilled by the Stena Drillmax rig at a depth of 4,244 feet (1,294 meters) of water. This finding adds to the more than 30 made in the Stabroek block since 2015, highlighting the region’s potential for oil and gas development.
