Talos Energy has started drilling the Bulleit appraisal well in Green Canyon Block 21 in the US Gulf of Mexico, says partner Otto Energy.
The well is being drilled from the Noble Don Taylor drillship. The Bulleit prospect sits in approximately 1,200 feet of water and is 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the GC18A platform. If successful, the well would be completed and tied back to the Talos owned and operated Green Canyon 18 facility approximately 10 miles away.
The well is expected to take approximately 42 days to drill. Otto Energy will earn a 16.67% working interest in the Green Canyon 21 lease through paying 22.22% of the cost of the drilling the well.
Otto Energy says Bulleit is an amplitude-supported Pliocene prospect with similar seismic attributes to the analogous MP sand section in Talos’s Green Canyon 18 field, which has produced approximately 39 MM boe to date.
Blueit was discovered in 1984, but it wasn't developed due to a lack of available infrastructure at the time.
