Chevron's Jack/St. Malo development project marked many firsts for the company. Not only is it Chevron's first in the Gulf of Mexico's Wilcox Lower Tertiary trend (LTT), but it is also the supermajor's first seabed boosting project. Situated at Walker Ridge Blocks 758 and 759 in 2133m (7000ft) water depth -a nearly two-hour helicopter ride away from New Orleans - the Jack and St. Malo fields took just over a decade to develop after their respective discoveries, in 2004 and 2003. Prior to project sanction, Chevron drilled seven exploration and appraisal wells at the fields between 2003 and 2010.
