据烃加工网站10月27日消息 美国石油生产商赫斯公司周三表示，预计到2027年，圭亚那至少有六个生产单位的日产石油总量将超过100万桶。

这一预测是在第二套浮式生产系统抵达南美国家水域后不久所作出。

赫斯补充称，有可能开发多达10个浮式系统来开发该区块发现的资源。埃克森美孚此前曾表示，预计到2026年，该公司将在圭亚那运营五个机组，预计总共有七到十个机组。

赫斯公司首席执行官约翰·赫斯还表示，该区块的第四个开发项目（Yellowtail ）预计总产能约为25万桶/天，预计2025年将有第一批石油。

该公司在与投资者和分析师举行的盈利后电话会议上补充称，Yellowtail 开发计划最近已提交圭亚那政府批准。

该公司在电话会议上拒绝提供成本或计划油井的最终数字，但补充称，即使成本有所增加，Yellowtail 的盈亏平衡仍将稳定在每桶25-32美元的范围内。

圭亚那被视为赫斯增长引擎的产量增加，也帮助该公司抵消了北达科他州巴克肯和墨西哥湾产量的下降。

第三季度，利萨一期的总产量平均为12.4万桶/天，利萨二期开发有望在2022年初启动，总产能为22万桶/天。

赫斯表示，帕亚拉油田Stabroek区块的第三次开发有望在2024年获得第一批石油，总产能为22万桶/天。

该公司表示，预计2022年将在圭亚那投资约10亿美元，比今年多出约2.5亿美元。

Hess Corp expects 1 MM bpd output from Guyana by 2027

Hess Corp expects to produce more than 1 MM gross barrels of oil per day (bpd) in Guyana by 2027 from at least six production units, the U.S. oil producer said on Wednesday.

The projection comes shortly after a second floating production system arrived in the South American country's waters.

Hess added that it sees potential for up to 10 floating systems to develop the discovered resources on the block. ExxonMobil had previously said it expects to have five units in operation in Guyana by 2026 and sees a potential for a total of seven to 10 units.

Hess Chief Executive Officer John Hess also said the fourth development on the block, the Yellowtail project, was envisioned to have a gross capacity of about 250,000 bpd, with first oil expected in 2025.

The plans for the Yellowtail development was recently submitted to the government of Guyana for approval, the company added in a post-earnings conference call with investors and analysts.

The company, on the call, declined to provide final numbers on cost or wells planned, but added that breakeven for Yellowtail, even with some cost increases, would firmly be in the $25 to $32 per barrel range.

Higher production from Guyana, considered a growth engine for Hess, also helped the company offset output declines in North Dakota's Bakken and Gulf of Mexico.

Gross production from the Liza Phase I complex averaged 124,000 bpd in the third quarter, with the Liza Phase II development on track for start-up in early 2022 with a gross production capacity of 220,000 bpd.

Hess said the third development on the Stabroek Block at the Payara field is on track to achieve first oil in 2024, also with a gross capacity of 220,000 bpd.

The company said it expects to spend about $1 B in Guyana in 2022, about $250 MM more than this yr.
