Talos Energy produced first oil from the Gulf of Mexico Green Canyon 21 (GC 21) Bulleit field on Oct. 15, partner Otto Energy said in a release Oct. 19. Production ramp up will occur in 1,000 bo/d increments until the well rate reaches a steady state.
The deepwater well intersected the DTR-10 reservoir, encountering net 140 ft TVD oil pay, and the MP reservoir, encountering 110 net ft oil pay. The latter is expected to perform consistent with analogue wells in GC18 field.
The project has been developed via a 10-mile subsea tieback to the GC18 Whistler platform where production is processed and delivered into regional oil and gas sales pipelines.
In an early October update, the operator noted finalizing completion and hook-up operations of the subsea well following numerous weather-related delays, including Hurricane Delta.
Talos holds a 50% working interest and is operator in Green Canyon 21. EnVen and Otto Energy hold 33.3% and 16.7% working interests, respectively.
