LLOG Exploration Co. LLC has started oil production from Praline field, a discovery in Gulf of Mexico Mississippi Canyon Block 74.
The Praline well was drilled in 2,600 ft of water to 13,400 ft TD and discovered over 125 ft of net hydrocarbons. It was completed in August 2020 and has been tied back to the Talos Energy-operated Pompano platform. LLOG is the operator with a 27.25% working interest. Partners are entities managed by Ridgewood Energy Corp., including ILX Holdings, Red Willow Offshore, Houston Energy, and CL&F Offshore.
Coming in 20% under budget, Praline, the company’s first pipe-in-pipe tieback, is the first of four tieback projects it expects to be online in the next year, said Philip LeJeune, LLOG president and chief executive officer, in a statement June 23.
