Description

  • The project is located in the Gulf of Mexico Mississippi Canyon area in water depths of approximately 5000 feet (1524 meters)
  • The Delta House FPS is designed to accommodate production from a number of nearby fields, including LLOG’s previously announced discoveries in Mississippi Canyon 300 and Mississippi Canyon 431.
  • The oil and gas export lines will connect the FPS to existing downstream pipeline infrastructure. The FPS will have capacity of 80 MBOPD, 200 MMCFD, and 40 MBWPD and space for 20 risers, which will allow production from up to nine simultaneously producing fields with dual flowlines.
  • The FPS will have peaking capability up to 100 MBOPD and 240 MMCFD. The Facilities are expected to process and transport production from six initial wells when they begin commercial operation in 2015.
  • Total capital required for the Project is over $2B.
  • The platform processes hydrocarbons from satellite fields including **Marmalard** (Mississippi Canyon Blocks 255 & 300) & **Son Of Bluto 2** (Mississippi Canyon Block 431), the **Otis Field** and Nearly Headless Nick
  • Oil is transported on the Odyssey Oil Pipeline
