Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Keathley Canyon Block 919, Gulf of Mexico
Water Depth: 2,419m/ 7,983 ft
Discovery Date: October 2007
Hadrian is situated on Keathley Canyon Block 919 in the Gulf of Mexico in waters measuring 7,382 feet (2,250 meters). ExxonMobil, which holds a 50% interest, operates the prospect; Petrobras holds a 25% interest; and Eni holds the remaining 25% interest.
A Supplemental Exploration Plan, submitted on June 16, 2009, proposes to drill four wells, C, D E and F, and then temporarily abandon them by the West Sirius semisub. The completion of the wells will be performed under the development phase of the project.
The Ocean Endeavor commenced drilling in the third quarter of 2009, but failed to make a discovery on the prospect. The well was plugged and abandoned.
The operator spud a third well on the block using the Maersk Developer semisub. The recently drilled KC919-3 wildcat well has confirmed the presence of a lower oil reserve in Keathley Canyon Block 919. The well encountered more than 475 feet (145 meters) of net oil pay and a small amount of gas in predominantly Pliocene high-quality sandstone reservoirs.
Drilling is continuing in the well in order to achieve a depth of 6,941 feet (2,116 meters).
