据今日石油网2022年4月27日报道，美国油气生产商赫斯公司4月27日在今年第一季度收益电话会议召开之前透露，圭亚那第4个石油开发项目Yellowtail项目预计将开发大约9.25亿桶石油的总资源量。

按照布伦特原油目前的市场价格每桶100美元至102.5美元计算，Yellowtail项目总资源量将价值925亿美元，即19.3万亿圭亚那元。  

赫斯公司回忆说，在开发计划获得圭亚那政府的批准以后，赫斯公司及其合作伙伴今年4月做出了最终投资决定，继续在斯塔布鲁克区块实施投资100亿美元的Yellowtail开发项目。

作为圭亚那区块迄今为止最大的开发项目，Yellowtail项目将使用“ONE GUYANA 号”浮式产油、储油和卸油（FPSO）船，其石油日产能预计高达25万桶。预计将在2025年投产的Yellowtail项目计划建设6个钻井中心，共26口生产井和25口注水井。

扣除批准前成本和FPSO船采购成本，赫斯公司在这个项目中的开发成本净份额预计约为23亿美元，其中今年约为2.1亿美元，2023年为4.3亿美元，2024年为5.85亿美元，2025年为3.9亿美元，2026年为2.95亿美元。

At current oil price, Yellowtail Project holds GY$19.3 trillion worth of oil

Ahead of its 2022 first quarter earnings call this morning, Hess Corporation disclosed that the Yellowtail Project is expected to develop a gross resource base of approximately 925 million barrels of oil.

At current market price for Brent crude, (US$100 to US$102.5 a barrel), the resource base is worth US$92.5B or GY$19.3 trillion.

Hess recalled that it was in April 2022, that a final investment decision was made to proceed with the US$10B Yellowtail development on the Stabroek Block after the development plan received approval from Guyana.

Yellowtail, the largest development thus far on the Block, will utilise the ONE GUYANA FPSO, which is expected to have a capacity of up to 250,000 gross bopd, with first production expected in 2025. Six drill centers are planned with up to 26 production wells and 25 injection wells.

Excluding pre-sanction costs and FPSO purchase cost, the Corporation’s net share of development costs is forecast to be approximately US$2.3 billion, of which approximately US$210 million is expected in 2022, US$430 million in 2023, US$585 million in 2024, US$390 million in 2025 and US$295 million in 2026.
