L10-N

Location

• The L10-N project is located in the Stabroek Block, approximately 190 kilometers offshore of Guyana.

Project Overview

• The Stabroek Block, where the L10-N project is situated, is a significant oil discovery area with multiple projects including Liza, Payara, and others. The block has seen several discoveries, including Liza, Payara, Pacora, and others.

Specific Discoveries and Developments

• While specific details for the L10-N well are not provided in the sources, it is part of the larger Stabroek Block developments. Here are some relevant discoveries and projects in the area:
  • Liza Field: This includes Liza Phase 1 and Phase 2, with the latter involving a second FPSO (Liza Unity) and targeting up to 220,000 barrels of oil per day.
  • Payara Project: This involves a third FPSO (Prosperity) and targets 220,000 barrels of oil per day, with 10 drill centers and 41 wells planned.

Drilling and Production

• Although specific details for L10-N are not available, the Stabroek Block projects involve extensive drilling operations. For example:
  • Liza Phase 1: Includes four drill centers with 17 wells (eight oil producing wells, six water injection wells, and three gas reinjection wells).
  • Liza Phase 2: Involves six drill centers with 30 wells (15 oil producing wells, nine water injection wells, and six gas injection wells).
  • Payara Project: Will have 10 drill centers with 41 wells (20 production wells and 21 water and gas injection wells).

Reservoir and Geology

• The wells in the Stabroek Block, including those related to L10-N, have encountered high-quality oil-bearing sandstone reservoirs. For instance:
  • Snoek-1 well: Encountered 82 feet (25 meters) of high-quality, oil-bearing sandstone reservoirs at a depth of 16,978 feet (5,175 meters) in 5,128 feet (1,563 meters) of water.
  • Turbot-1 well: Encountered 75 feet (23 meters) of high-quality, oil-bearing sandstone reservoir at a depth of 18,445 feet (5,622 meters) in 5,912 feet (1,802 meters) of water.

Production Capacity and Resources

• The gross recoverable resource for the Stabroek Block, which includes the L10-N project area, is estimated to be nearly 11 billion oil equivalent barrels.

Environmental and Operational Considerations

• The projects in the Stabroek Block, including those related to L10-N, are designed with environmental considerations in mind. For example, the use of FPSOs and careful drilling practices aim to minimize environmental impact.
