Exxon (XOM) Finds New Oil at Uaru-2 Well in Offshore Guyana
Read MoreHide Full Article
ExxonMobil Corporation (XOM - Free Report) made a significant oil discovery at the Uaru-2 well in the Stabroek Block off the Guyana coast. Notably, the company announced Uaru-2 as the 19th discovery in the Stabroek block.
However, there was no mention about how much the recent discovery would add to the previously-discovered gross recoverable resource estimate of more than 9 billion barrels of oil equivalent in the block. The discovery identified 120 feet of high-quality oil and gas reservoirs, which included newly identified intervals below the original Uaru-1 discovery.
ExxonMobil’s wholly-owned subsidiary Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (“EEPGL”) is the operator of the Stabroek Block, with a 45% ownership interest. The remaining stakes are owned by subsidiaries of Hess Corporation (HES - Free Report) and CNOOC Limited (CEO - Free Report) , holding 30% and 25% interest, respectively.
The Uaru-2 well, which lies 6.8 miles south of the Uaru-1 well, was drilled 5,659 feet below the water surface. In January 2020, ExxonMobil made a significant oil discovery at the Uaru-1 well in the Stabroek Block. Notably, the well was drilled in 6,342 feet of water and identified about 94 feet of high-quality oil-bearing sandstone reservoirs.
In recent years, Exxon and partners made multiple quality discoveries in the Stabroek Block, making Guyana the newest crude producing nation in December 2019. Importantly, the latest invention increased the extensive list of discoveries in the newest crude producing nation in Latin America and the company’s potential to optimally sequence development opportunities in the block.
Exxon expects at least six projects online by 2027 and sees the opportunity of up to 10 floating production storage and offloading vessels to develop its current recoverable resource balance.
Company Profile & Price Performance
Headquartered in Irving, TX, ExxonMobil is one of the leading integrated energy companies in the world.
Shares of the company have outperformed the industry in the past six months. The stock has gained 78.1% compared with the industry’s 58.9% growth.
Zacks Rank & Other Stocks to Consider
The company currently sports a Zack Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Eni’s earnings for 2021 are expected to increase 20.4% year over year.
These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.
Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.
