- Estimate of gross discovered recoverable resources for the Stabroek Block increased to more than 4 billion barrels of oil equivalent
- Planning underway for a third phase of development
- Total discoveries to date establish potential to produce over 750,000 barrels per day by 2025
The increase follows completion of testing at the Liza-5 appraisal well, a discovery at Ranger, incorporation of results from the eighth discovery on the Block at the Longtail exploration well into the Turbot area evaluation, and completion of the Pacora discovery evaluation. This evaluation supports a third phase of development and consideration of two additional phases. There is potential for additional development phases from significant undrilled targets and plans for rapid exploration and appraisal drilling, including at the Ranger discovery.

The Longtail discovery established the Turbot-Longtail area as a potential development hub for recovery of more than 500 million barrels of oil equivalent. Additional prospects to be drilled in this area could increase this estimate.
The collective discoveries on the Stabroek Block to date have established the potential for up to five FPSOs producing over 750,000 barrels per day by 2025.
The Stabroek Block is 6.6 million acres (26,800 square kilometers).
