Project Profile
Location: offshore Louisiana, Gulf of Mexico
Depth: 10-12 ft
The Eugene Island Field is located 170 miles (270 km) southwest of New Orleans, 70–85 miles (113–137 km) off the Louisiana coast comprising six and a half leased blocks: Eugene Island 313, 314 south, 330, 331, 332, 337 and 338.
In 2012 drilling operations began with the Ocean Columbia jack-up rig. Additional potential exists at Eugene Island to recomplete existing wells or to sidetrack wells to undepleted zones.
Eugene Island 32
Production is from Lower Pliocene and Upper Miocene aged conventional sandstone reservoirs contained within a large, faulted anticline structure. There are multiple proven reservoirs within the field area, occurring at vertical drilling depths of approximately 6,000 to 11,000 feet. Water depth at the Eugene Island Field is approximately 10-12 feet.
A number of infield drilling and behind pipe (recompletion or work-over) opportunities have been identified within the field. In 2012 Hillcrest Petroleum Ltd completed the sale of all of its working interest in the Eugene Island 32 oil field.
