Co-Owners:

Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Ltd., operator (45%), CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited (25%)

On the 6.6 million acre Stabroek Block, offshore Guyana, 13 significant discoveries have been made since 2015. Gross discovered recoverable resources for the Stabroek Block are currently estimated at more than 6 billion barrels of oil equivalent with multi-billion barrels of additional exploration potential across the block.

The Liza Phase 1 development, sanctioned June 2017, is progressing rapidly, laying the foundation for first production by early 2020. Liza Phase 1 will consist of 17 wells connected to a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel designed to produce up to 120,000 barrels of oil per day, gross.

The second phase of the Liza development will utilize a second FPSO with gross production capacity of approximately 220,000 barrels of oil per day, with start-up expected by mid-2022. Planning is underway for a third phase of development, which will use an FPSO designed to produce approximately 180,000 barrels of oil per day, with first production as early as 2023.

North Dakota

Bakken Shale

First production:

1957

Hess interest:

~70% for operated leases, ~10% for non-operated leases

Hess discovered oil in North Dakota in 1951. With its prime, industry-leading acreage position, Hess Bakken operations in North Dakota are competitive with the best shale-oil plays in the world. Our top quartile operating performance and our infrastructure advantage help us deliver some of the highest returns in the play. We continue to increase productivity and reduce drilling and completions costs through the consistent, widespread and focused application of Lean. We have established more drilling spacing units in the core of the play than any other operator and our initial production rates (IPs) have continued to increase due in part to our continued downspacing of wells and increased frac stages. In 2018, the Bakken shale play averaged 117,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
