Heidelberg, located in Green Canyon Block 859, is well ahead of schedule and is now expected to achieve first oil in Q1 2016 from three initial wells pending regulatory approval, Anadarko said.
Earlier this month, First Subsea completed the installation of subsea mooring connectors for Heidelberg’s truss spar platform.
At the end of November, Anadarko towed the 23,000-ton Heidelberg spar nearly 400mi, and upended and moored it on location in nearly 5300ft of water, 390mi east of Corpus Christi, Texas.
The Heidelberg spar will have a capacity of more than 80,000 b/d and 2.3 MMcu m/d.
Anadarko’s strong production performance is mainly being driven by its onshore assets located in the US.
“The company is increasing the midpoint of its Q4 oil sales-volume guidance by more than 15,000 b/d to a range of 314,000 to 319,000 b/d. This outperformance is the primary contributor to a 2 MMboe increase in the company's total Q4 sales-volume guidance, resulting in a new range of 70 to 72 MMboe,” Anadarko said.
