ExxonMobil has announced that the Sorubim-1 well in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana is dry.

Exxon’s subsidiary Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Ltd (EEPGL) began drilling the Sorubim-1 well, which is located north west of its fruitful Liza find, on April 3rd, 2018.

In a statement issued by Exxon yesterday, Kimberly Brasington, Senior Director, Public and Government Affairs for ExxonMobil, said, “We have had great exploration success in Guyana with seven previous discoveries: Liza, Liza Deep, Payara, Pacora, Snoek, Ranger, and Turbot. Skipjack and now Sorubim are what we call ‘dry holes.’”
