Description

  • Tubular Bells is located approximately 135 miles southeast of New Orleans in the Mississippi Canyon area. The field lies in water depths ranging from 4,300 to 4,600 feet.
  • The plan initially calls for three subsea production wells and two water injection wells from two subsea drill centers tied back to a third-party owned spar production facility, the first of its kind to be constructed entirely in the United States.
  • Annual gross production is expected to peak in the range of 40,000-45,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Total estimated recoverable resources for Tubular Bells are estimated at more than 120 million barrels of oil equivalent. The development is estimated to cost $2.3 billion, with additional commitments for production handling, export pipeline, and oil and gas gathering and processing services.
