Project Profile
Location: Central Gulf of Mexico
Value: US$600 million
Producing since: 2010
Water Depth: 1310m
Reserves: 40-70 mboe
The Telemark project consists of a new platform, the ATP Titan, that serves as a production hub for three fields, Telemark, Mirage and Morgus, located in the Central Gulf of Mexico. The development is being undertaken in two phases: Phase 1 consists of drilling and developing the Mirage and Morgus fields, and Phase 2 consists of drilling and developing the Telemark field.
Mirage/Morgus
Phase I of the project focuses on the northern part of the greater Telemark area, which includes the Mirage and Morgus fields. The ATP Titan which has a design capacity of 25 MBbls of oil per day, and 60 MMcf of gas per day. Telemark field is in 1310m of water. Reserves estimated 40-70 mboe. The Mirage reservoir is believed to hold more than 100 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Telemark
Phase II of the project focuses on the Telemark field. Telemark is situated in a water depth of 4,300 feet (1,311 meters) on Atwater Valley Block 63. ATP acquired the field in 2006 and owns 97% interest; BHP Billiton holds 1% interest; Chevron holds 1% interest; and Eni holds the remaining 1% interest. The field was discovered in 2003 in the southern part of the greater Telemark area when exploratory drilling encountered 140 feet (43 meters) of hydrocarbons in the Miocene sands. A fourth field that is 100% owned and operated by ATP -- Oasis -- is located on Mississippi Canyon Block 943, and may be tied-back to the platform, pending exploration results.
