TORONTO, Canada — Exxon Mobil has applied for an environmental permit to drill up to 12 further exploration wells on the Canje Block offshore Guyana during 2023-2024, according to Eco (Atlantic) Oil and Gas.
Eco has an indirect share of the block via its 7.3% interest in one of the partners, JHI Associates.
Earlier this year, Exxon Mobil plugged and abandoned the Jabillo-1 well on the block as a dry hole.
Elsewhere, the semisubmersible Island Innovator should mobilize early next week to drill the Gazania-1 well in Block 2B offshore South Africa at a location 25 km offshore in 150 m water dept.
The well, likely to spud in September, will be drilled to a depth of about 2,800 m to target a stacked pay section updip of the AJ-1 discovery and in the proven oil horizon. Eco plans to seal and plug the well after the test with no remaining equipment left on the sea floor.
In Block 3B/4B, 120 km to 250 km offshore in South Africa’s Orange Basin, and south of this year’s Graff-1 and Venus-1 oil discoveries, reprocessing is nearing completion of a 3D seismic survey. The results will be used to high-grade leads toward identifying drilling targets and preparing for potential drilling next year, Eco said.
