LLOG Exploration

Offshore work related to the contract is slated to begin in 2024.

GATE Energy is the most recent contract awardee for LLOG Exploration's Salamanca project in the Gulf of Mexico.

LLOG Exploration looks to engineering partner to assist with its ambitious platform re-use project in the Gulf of Mexico.

The development comprises a pair of subsea wells tied back to existing infrastructure.

Something often talked about but rarely occurs is the reuse of an existing, but idled, production platform on a new field. LLOG wants to change that with ambitions to rejuvenate the former Independence Hub floating production system for use on its Leon/Castile project in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

The discovery in the US Gulf of Mexico was tied back through a single well completion to existing infrastructure.

Phase 1 production from the deepwater US Gulf of Mexico field is expected to reach 30,000 BOPD. The field contains an estimated 5 billion bbl of oil in place.

The El Dorado, Arkansas-based Murphy has quickly found a home for some of the cash it will receive from the sale of its Malaysia business. The company has been rapidly expanding its US gulf footprint while simplifying its portfolio and targeting more oil.

The pact, which builds on the firms’ current partnership on the Buckskin project, covers four Keathley Canyon blocks including the Leon and Moccasin discoveries.

LLOG’s subsea pipeline tiebacks and structures connecting the Stonefly development to the Ram Powell platform are scheduled to be installed in Q3 2019.
