Petroleumstitanen Chevron, som har hovedkontor i Texas, kunngjorde nylig at den har satt i gang naturgass- og oljeproduksjon fra sitt dypvannsprosjekt i Gulf av Amerika kalt "Ballymore".
Den nye bestrebelsen fra det amerikanske multinasjonale og eieren av Texaco lubricant brand is the latest step in a number of projects to get started within the past 12 months. It represents a move towards Chevron’s current goal to generate 300,000 barrels of oil a day from the Gulf next year. Ballymore’s expected output is approximately 75,000 gross barrels a day via three tied back wells that are three miles from the Blind Faith facility operated by Chevron.
Vice president for Chevron’s operation in the Gulf of America, Brent Gros, said that the Ballymore was a demonstration of the company driving efficiencies and using technology to support production of affordable and dependable energy coming from the Gulf. He commented:
"Ballymore, som ble fullført i tide og innenfor budsjett, bringer ytterligere produksjon online uten å bygge en ny frittstående offshore-plattform. Dette reduserer utviklingskostnadene våre og forventes å gi høyere avkastning for aksjonærene."
Now one of the lead leaseholders in the deep water Gulf of America, Chevron continues its active pursuit of fresh opportunities for expansion in the area. Last year, the company began its production from the industry-first project called “Anchor” and its non-operated project “Whale” and started leveraging water injection technology that boosted output levels at its Jack/St. Malo and Tahiti facilities.
Analytikere anslår at Ballymores potensielle utvinnbare ressurser er rundt 150 millioner oljefat for hele prosjektets livssyklus.
