ExxonMobil Makes Natural Gas Discovery Offshore Cyprus
Oil and Gas Journal reported : ExxonMobil Corp. announced a natural gas discovery offshore Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean on Block 10. The Glaucus-1 well cut 436 ft of reservoir rock. Evaluation of the potential of Block 10 continues. The well was drilled to 13,780 ft in 6,769 ft of water. ExxonMobil said preliminary interpretation of the well data indicates gas resources of 5-8 tcf although additional analysis will determine resource potential. Glaucus-1 was the second well drilled on Block 10. The first well, Delphyne-1, did not encounter commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. “These are encouraging results in a frontier exploration area,” said Steve Greenlee, president of ExxonMobil Exploration Co. Block 10 covers 635,554 acres. ExxonMobil Exploration & Production Cyprus (Offshore) Ltd. operates the block with 60% interest. Qatar Petroleum International Upstream holds the remaining interest.
