埃克森美孚在圭亚那恢复海上地震测量作业

据世界能源新闻网2019年2月27日休斯敦报道，一名圭亚那政府官员周二表示，在去年12月由于与委内瑞拉海军发生冲突停止地震测量作业以来，埃克森美孚公司日前已恢复圭亚那海上油气地震勘探作业。

圭亚那商务部长多米尼克?加斯金在休斯敦莱斯大学接受采访时对一群企业高管说，自事件发生以来，船只一直都能够畅通无阻地航行。

加斯金说：“这仅仅是去年12月22日发生的一次冲突，我们还没有听到任何冲突复发的报道。”

据悉，加斯金在休斯敦推销该国的石油、天然气和商业发展机会。

埃克森美孚公司发言人Suann Guthrie周二表示，该公司将地震测量作业的重点放在斯塔布罗克区块东南部。

圭亚那和委内瑞拉都表示，冲突事件发生在两国的领海内。

Exxon Resumes Seismic Survey in Guyana

Exxon Mobil Corp has resumed seismic exploration for oil and gas off of the coast of Guyana after halting work in December due to a run-in with the Venezuelan navy, a Guyanese government official said on Tuesday.

Vessels have been able to travel unimpeded since the incident, said Minister of Business Dominic Gaskin in an interview at Rice University in Houston where he addressed a group of business executives.

"That was a one-off on Dec. 22 and we haven't heard any reports of a recurrence," Gaskin said. He was in Houston to promote the country's oil and gas and business development opportunities.

Exxon is focusing its seismic work in the southeast portion of the large Stabroek block, Exxon spokeswoman Suann Guthrie said on Tuesday.

A Venezuelan navy helicopter had intercepted and sought to land on a seismic vessel operated for Exxon by Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) in the western side of the block in December, prompting PGS and Exxon to withdraw.

Both Guyana and Venezuela say the incident took place within their territorial waters.
