Helix Energy Solutions Group has started oil and natural gas production from its Phoenix field in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico

摘要

The company is in the process of ramping up production from the four subsea wells and will release production rates at a later date. The Phoenix field is located in the Green Canyon 237 area of the Gulf. Helix acquired the field, formerly called Typhoon, in 2006 following destruction of the field's tension-leg platform by Hurricane Rita in 2005. Helix has constructed the Helix Producer I -- dynamically-positioned Floating Production Unit -- for the purpose of producing the Phoenix field and other oil fields in the Gulf.
