HOUSTON, Oct. 20 -- Medco Energi US LLC plans in early 2007 to install a braced caisson or minimal structure on a well recently drilled on Mustang Island Block 758 in the western Gulf of Mexico.
The No. 1 well, drilled in 156 ft of water 50 miles east of Corpus Christi, Tex., encountered gas pay totaling 47 ft total vertical thickness in four horizons in the Miocene Marg A series between 8,200 ft and 8,900 ft. The well reached 9,200 ft TD.
The operator set 7 5/8-in. production casing at 9,155 ft and suspended the well at the mud line.
