ExxonMobil Guyana Limited (EMGL) has begun a new phase of offshore drilling activities at the Liza Phase Two development, with operations set to continue until the end of February 2026.
According to a Notice to Mariners issued by the Maritime Administration Department, drilling commenced on January 18 at the Liz_3P13 drill centre, located within the Stabroek Block in Guyana’s Exclusive Economic Zone. The work is being carried out by the mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) Noble Don Taylor.
The drilling programme will run until February 28 and will involve a number of support and offshore service vessels operating in the area. These vessels are expected to display the international signals used by ships engaged in drilling and subsea activities. Authorities have advised mariners to exercise extreme caution and to keep clear of the vessels while navigating in the vicinity.
The Liz_3P13 drill centre is situated approximately 104 nautical miles, or just under 193 kilometres, offshore Guyana and covers an operational area of about one square kilometre. The Maritime Administration Department has also provided updated coordinates and chart insets to assist mariners operating offshore.
