=== Summary Information ===
* Operator: BP
* Country: USA
* Location: Green Kanyon Blocks 738, 781, 782, 825 & 826, Gulf of Mexico
* Production start: 2004
* Partners: BP - 60.5 %, BHP Billiton- 23.9 %, Chevron - 15.6 %
* Type: Oil / Gas
* Estimated Reserves:
* Production Volume:

=== Description ===
* The Mad Dog Field started production in 2005 and utilizes a truss spar platform, equipped with facilities for simultaneous production and drilling operations. The facility is designed to process 80,000 barrels/day of oil and 60,000 standard cubic feet/day of gas.
* The Mad Dog development consists of a truss spar, equipped with facilities for simultaneous production and drilling operations. Oil from Mad Dog will be transported via the [[[Caesar Oil Pipeline]]] to Ship Shoal 332B, where it will interconnect with the [[[Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline]]] System (CHOPS).
* Mad Dog gas will be exported via the [[[Cleopatra Natural Gas Pipeline]]] to Ship Shoal 332A, where it will interconnect with Manta Ray Gathering System, and from there to the Nautilus Gas Transportation System into Louisiana.
* Both Caesar and Cleopatra pipelines are part of the BP-operated [[[Mardi Gras Offshore Oil And Gas Pipeline System]]].

=== Contractors ===
* **Rauma Repola:** Construction of Spar Hull
* **McDermott:** Construction of 8,400-ST spar hull topsides
* **Mustang:**

* **J P Kenny:** Concept selection for both wet and dry development scenarios, development of field architecture, evaluation of horizontal verses vertical trees and cost estimates for both options
* **Emtunga:** Upgrade of living quarters

=== History ===
* 1998 - Mad Dog was discovered
* 1998 - Unocal acquired 25% stake
* 2001 - The Mad Dog-4 appraisal well drilled
* 2003 - AMEC awarded contract hook up and commissioning services
* 2004 - First production
* 2011 - BP announced today the drilling of a successful appraisal well in a previously untested northern segment
* 2013 - FMC awarded contract for phase 2 equipment
