LLOG signs infrastructure deal for Taggart development

LLOG Exploration Offshore LLC has signed an infrastructure agreement with Eni SPA related to development of the Taggart discovery in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

The agreement provides LLOG access to Eni and Marubeni Oil & Gas (USA) LLC’s existing subsea infrastructure connected to the Williams-owned Devils Tower Spar in Mississippi Canyon 773.

In June 2020, LLOG sanctioned its 100%-owned Taggart discovery and signed a production handling agreement for development via tieback to the spar (OGJ Online, June 17, 2020). Initial development plans include the completion and tie back of two wells with first production expected in first-half 2022.

Taggart was discovered on Mississippi Canyon Block 816 in 5,650 ft of water through the Mississippi Canyon 816 #1 discovery well in 2013. The well was drilled to 11,562 ft TD and encountered a total of 97 ft of net pay in two Miocene objectives. Two subsequent appraisal wells were drilled in 2015 and 2019 and encountered 147 ft and 84 ft of net pay, respectively.
