ciated natural gas, Smith details.
He predicts production will begin late
in the third quarter or early in the fourth
quarter of 2017, adding that the company
may drill a second well before year's
end. Other projects he mentions include
plans to drill onshore near the mouth of
Louisiana's Atchafalaya River.
Even amid 2016's lackluster commodity prices, Smith says the Gulf of Mexico
remains a profitable basin. "Everybody
left the Gulf too early, which is fine with
us," he holds. "At $3.50 gas and $50 oil,
the Gulf is still one of the more attractive
areas. A little company like ours can put
in a well and have success here."

As W&T Offshore Inc. drills in 372

pects to bring the A-18 well in Ship
Shoal Block 349 on line early this year.
Drilled to a total depth of 18,722 feet, it
targets the "T" sand, but Krohn suggests
that extending the wellbore to nearly
20,000 feet will allow it to also encounter
the oil-producing "U" sand.
He credits improved imaging as a key
to discovering the deeper sands. "We are
drilling the Ship Shoal 349 A-18 development well, targeting the T sand that
has produced so prolifically in the field's
A-14 well since mid-2013," Krohn details.
"We will complete the T sand first and
then see where we go with the U sand. It
could be an important discovery."

Chairman and CEO Tracy W. Krohn.
According to Krohn, the company ex-

cates. "It is interesting to watch the progression of data since we took over the
field," Krohn marvels. "We are big believers in data. The data quality is one
reason I like working offshore. There is

W&T Offshore has achieved a 100 percent drilling success rate over the past three years
in the Gulf, including the Ship Shoal 349 A-18, a deep Shelf subsalt well that was drilled
to a total vertical depth of approximately 20,000 feet in 372 feet of water on the western
side of the Mahogany Field. The A-18 well commenced production on Jan. 17 and is producing at a daily rate of 5,217 boe (4,032 barrels of oil and 7.1 MMcf of gas). With a 2017
capital budget of $125 million, W&T Offshore plans to drill six to eight wells this year, including a new well at its Viosca Knoll 823 Virgo Field.
