Exxon said its Longtail-3 well found 230 feet of net pay, including “newly identified, high-quality hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs." The company added that it was located at a lower depth than the 256 feet of net pay discovered by the Longtail-1 well in 2018 about two miles to the north. The discovery of stacked reservoirs in the Longtail field comes on the heels of a find by the nearby Uaru-2 well, and should add to the gross recoverable resources in the Stabroek Block, according to Hess CEO John Hess, which are already estimated at roughly 9 billion boe (PIW Sep.27'19).
