Two new discoveries offshore Guyana on the Stabroek Block;
Lisa Destiny and Liza Unity combined exceeded production target of 340,000 boe/d;
Prosperity expected to produce 220,000 bbl/d of oil, likely by year-end 2023, five months ahead of schedule; and
One Guyana anticipates coming online in 2025.
