Total has brought its deepwater Matterhorn field on Mississippi Canyon block 243 in the Gulf of Mexico onstream.
Total developed the field, discovered in 1999, with a TLP that has 33,000 b/d and 55 MMcf/d of throughput capacity. Production moves to shore through flowlines connected to the existing pipeline network. The platform was installed in mid-2003.
The field, 160 km southeast of New Orleans, is in 850 m of water. It is Total's third deepwater GoM field, following Virgo and Aconcagua.
Operator Total holds 100% interest in the field.
