Offshore staff

Chevron has completed testing of its discovery well on its Tahiti Field in the Gulf of Mexico. Early analysis of the rate and pressure data collected during the test indicates that the well's capability exceeds the pre-test expectation of 25,000 b/d.

The well test was completed in 4,100 ft of water and at 25,812 ft subsea, making it the deepest well test in the history in a high-pressure environment of the Gulf of Mexico.
