By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, Apr. 27 -- Anadarko Petroleum Corp. made a deepwater discovery on its 100%-held Green Canyon Block 652 in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Genghis Khan well, drilled to 26,000 ft TD in 4,300 ft of water, tested 110 ft of high-quality net oil pay in the Lower Miocene and additional pay in the Middle Miocene.
Production is slated for 2006 via a subsea tieback to the Marco Polo platform, 2.4 miles away.
Anadarko plans to drill six more exploration wells this year in the gulf.
