Chevron completes deepest successful well test in GOM as Jack, Kaskida push Lower Tertiary trend higher

摘要

IN EARLY SEPTEMBER, Chevron announced that it successfully completed a record-setting production test on the Jack No. 2 well at Walker Ridge Block 758 in the Gulf of Mexico. The Jack well was completed and tested in 7,000 ft of water and a depth exceeding 20,000 ft, breaking Chevron's 2004 Tahiti well test record as the deepest successful well test in the GOM. The Jack well was drilled to a total depth of 28,175 ft. During the test, the well sustained a flow rate of more than 6,000 bbls/day of crude oil, with the test representing about 40 percent of the total net pay measured in the Jack No. 2 well. More than a half-dozen world records for test equipment pressure, depth and duration in deepwater were set during the Jack well test. For example, the perforating guns were fired at world record depths and pressures. The test tree and other drill stem test tools also set world records. However, technical details of the test remain confidential for now, according to Chevron's media relations department.
