Positive signs from latest Exxon Mobil well -sources

Exxon’s Mobil Payara well has been drilled to its total depth and the company is in the process of evaluating preliminary findings.

“Well, we have drilled the well to TD (total depth) and we are still evaluating the well at the moment,” Country Manager of Exxon Mobil Jeff Simmons told Stabroek News yesterday when contacted.

Asked if preliminary findings were positive, Simmons would only say, “Right now we are still evaluating. We are not going to say yes or no but we can say we are still evaluating.”

However, sources told this newspaper that while still early to affirm, the well shows positive promise similar to the company’s Liza one drilling results which has already seen huge projections of oil recovery.
