First production from Caesar/Tonga project

摘要

Anadarko Petroleum, as operator, has announced first production at the Caesar/Tonga development in the Green Canyon area of the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Production from Caesar/Tonga, with an estimated resource base of 200mn to 400mn boe, is expected to ramp up to approximately 45,000 boe/d from the first three subsea wells. A fourth development well is expected to be drilled and completed later this year, as part of the planned Phase I development.In addition to utilising Anadarko's 100% operated Constitution spar floating production facility, the Caesar/Tonga development alsoincluded the first application of steel lazy wave riser technology (featuring a series of small buoyancy collars) in the Gulf of Mexico.
