The Katmai oil discovery is located in Green Canyon 40 and was drilled to a total depth of 27,900 feet in 2,100 feet of water in 2014. At Katmai, wireline logging data indicates a total of 154 net feet of crude oil pay was discovered in multiple reservoirs, including 117 net feet in Middle Miocene and 37 net feet in Lower Miocene reservoirs. Gross resources at Katmai are now estimated at between 40 and 100 million barrels of oil equivalent, including 40 to 60 million barrels of oil equivalent discovered from the initial well. Additional exploration and appraisal drilling will be moving forward in April 2016 to discover the remaining upside potential. Noble Energy operates Katmai with a 50% working interest. Ridgewood Energy Corporation holds the remaining 50% working interest.
