How has CGXEF been recently?
Canada’s CGX has four exploration licenses in the Guyana-Suriname basin. Located in the frontier basin of South America, the basin features both proven hydrocarbon systems and deep water plays that can be drilled up to 200 feet underwater. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has identified the Guyana Suriname basin as the world’s second most promising unexplored oil basin, with recoverable oil reserves and gas reserves of over 13.6 billion barrels and 39 trillion cubic feet of reserves, respectively. CGXEF is well-positioned to capitalize on Guyana’s Atlantic Basin, with more than 10 prospects and leads, and an independent P50 resource estimate of 3 billion barrels of potential.
