Anadarko confirmed the company resumed production at both Lucius and Heidelberg on Sunday (12 February) afternoon, “and will ramp up as third-party pipelines allow.” The fire occurred three days prior on 9 February.

Partial production at Lucius resumed on Saturday (11 February) afternoon.

The fire occurred at approximately 7 p.m. (local time) on Thursday 9 February.

Earlier today (13 February) the fatality of a Phillips 66 employee was reported.

Anadarko’s newest spar facilities, Lucius and Heidelberg, began production in January 2015 and January 2016, respectively – both achieving first oil just three years after sanction.

In Anadarko’s Q4 2016 report, the company said that development continued at Lucius in the Keathley Canyon, which produced an average of 80,000 boe/d during the period. Well deliverability remains excellent through favorable connectivity, with strong aquifer support and a high-quality reservoir.

At Heidelberg, the fourth producer was online and expected to ramp up to 12,000 b/d. The spar was producing approximately 25,000 boe/d. A sidetrack of the fifth Heidelberg well encountered 191ft of pay (net) in the Miocene-aged reservoirs and is expected to be brought online early this year.
