Fangtooth-1 unlocks new play; will ‘add significantly’ to 10-billion-barrel oil resource – Hess

This further demonstrates the Exxon-led consortium’s prioritisation of the Fangtooth discovery for its seventh development. 

The Noble Don Taylor is being utilised to drill this well, which is expected to be wrapped up by the end of May.
