Description
- The Julia field comprises five leases in the ultra-deepwater Walker Ridge area of the Gulf of Mexico, 265 miles southwest of New Orleans. The blocks are WR-584, WR-627, WR-628, WR-540 and WR-583.
- Julia is one of the first large oil discoveries in the ultra-deepwater frontier of the Gulf of Mexico
- The Julia Phase I project is a subsea tie-back to the Jack & St. Malo production facility and the scope includes six subsea wells, one six-slot manifold, two umbilicals, six jumpers, two flowlines with two steel catenary risers, two subsea pump modules and topsides support equipment. Production will flow through two 10-inch production flowlines with subsea single-phase boost pumps.
- The initial development phase is designed for daily production of 34,000 barrels of oil
