Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Mississippi Canyon Block 699 in the Gulf of Mexico
Water Depth: 2,254 metres
Start-up Year: -
The Troubadour prospect (OCS-G 33169) lies in 7,395 feet (2,254 metres) of water on Mississippi Canyon Block 699 in the Gulf of Mexico. Noble Energy serves as the operator and holds an 87.50% interest; Deep Gulf Energy holds the remaining 12.50% interest.
An EP submitted to MMS by the operator proposes to drill and complete four wells utilising a dynamically positioned semisub, which will be targeting oil and gas. Noble anticipates it will take 60 days to drill and 45 days to complete each well. The anticipated spud date of the first well is Feb. 1, 2010, and if commercial quantities of hydrocarbons are discovered, a Development Operations Coordination Document will be submitted for approval.
