COVINGTON, Louisiana – LLOG Exploration Offshore L.L.C. has sanctioned its Taggart discovery and signed a production handling agreement for development via tieback to the Williams-owned Devils Tower spar in Mississippi Canyon block 773 in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Taggart discovery is on Mississippi Canyon block 816 in about 5,650 ft (1,722 m) of water.
The Mississippi Canyon 816 #1 discovery well was drilled in 2013 to a depth of 11,562 ft (3,524 m) and encountered 97 ft (30 m) of net pay in two Miocene objectives. Two subsequent appraisal wells were drilled in 2015 and 2019 and encountered 147 ft (45 m) and 84 ft (26 m) of net pay, respectively.
Philip LeJeune, president and CEO of LLOG, said: “Williams will provide the infrastructure necessary for the efficient and economic development of the Taggart discovery which has reserves totaling approximately 27 MMboe…”
Initial development plans include the completion and tieback of two wells with first production expected in 2022.
LLOG and its affiliates own 100% of the Taggart development.
