Project Profile
Location: Garden Banks Block 341, 11.5 miles (19 kilometres) away from the Auger TLP, USA
Production: 22,000 bopd and 75 Mmcf/d (2.1 MMcm/d) of natural gas (peak)
Water Depth: 614 metres
Located on Garden Banks Block 341 in 2,015 feet (614 metres) of water, the Habanero oil and gas field is located 11.5 miles (19 kilometres) away from the Auger TLP. Discovered in 2000 by the Ocean Concord, Habanero consists of two pay zones. Situated in the H52 and H55 sands, a 225 foot (69 metre) column of oil is located in an upper zone, and a 70-foot (21 metre) column of gas condensate is located in the lower zone. Shell serves as the operator of the satellite field with 55% interest in the block. Project partners include Murphy Oil with 33.75% and Callon Petroleum with 11.25%.
Developed as a satellite field to the Auger TLP for a total investment of US$190 million, Habanero field development includes two subsea wells connected to a dual pipe-in-pipe flowline system, which is then tied to the Auger TLP. Major contractors on the project include Transocean, which performed drilling and completions and FMC with provided the subsea hardware. The field has a daily peak rate of 22,000 bopd and 75 Mmcf/d (2.1 MMcm/d) of natural gas and production commenced from Habanero in 2006.
