Westmount Energy Ltd.'s shares fell on Monday after it said that drilling of the Sapote-1 well on Guyana's Canje Block encountered noncommercial hydrocarbons, as confirmed by investee company JHI Associates Inc.
西山能源有限公司(Westmount Energy Ltd.)週一股價下跌，此前該公司表示，被投資公司JHI Associates Inc.證實，在圭亞那Canje區塊的Sapote-1油井鑽探遇到了非商業性碳氫化合物。
Shares at 0910 GMT were down 4.37 pence, or 36%, at 7.63 pence.
格林威治時間0910，股價下跌4.37便士，至7.63便士，跌幅36%。
The AIM-listed energy company said Sapote-1 is the sixth well offshore Guyana that it has participated in since 2019, and that although the drilling portfolio has yielded three oil discoveries, there has been no standalone commercial success to date.
這家在AIM上市的能源公司表示，Sapote-1是該公司自2019年以來參與圭亞那近海開發的第六口油井，儘管鑽探組合已經發現了三處石油，但到目前為止還沒有獨立的商業成功。
It said that one of the block's operators, ExxonMobil subsidiary Esso Exploration & Production Guyana Ltd., has submitted an application for environmental authorization regarding a new 12-well drilling program on the block from 2022 with the Guyanese Environmental Protection Agency.
該公司稱，該區塊的運營商之一埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)子公司埃索勘探與生產圭亞那有限公司(Esso Explore&Production圭亞那Ltd.)已向圭亞那環保局提交了一份環境授權申請，要求從2022年起在該區塊開展一個新的12口井鑽井項目。
JHI partners alongside Esso Exploration & Production Guyana, TotalEnergies E&P Guyana B.V., and Mid-Atlantic Oil & Gas Inc., in the Canje Block.
JHI與埃索勘探與生產圭亞那公司(Esso Explore&Production圭亞那)、TotalEnergy E&P圭亞那B.V.和大西洋中部石油天然氣公司(Mid-Atlantic Oil&Gas Inc.)在Canje區塊建立了合作伙伴關係。
Westmount holds an indirect interest in the Canje Block as a result of an interest of around 7.2% in JHI's issued share capital.
由於擁有JHI已發行股本約7.2%的權益，Westmount持有Canje區塊的間接權益。
