the charge toward new approvals."
Higher oil prices and right-sized project
engineering are key contributors to the
accelerated pace of investment approvals,
the report goes on. A case in point is
BP's Mad Dog Phase 2 in the Green
Canyon area of deepwater Gulf. With
the estimated cost of the initial development plan exceeding $20 billion, BP and
its partners elected in 2013 to rethink the
development concept. Last year, Mad
Dog 2 was sanctioned using a revised
plan featuring about half as many wells
and a simplified and standardized platform
design that reduces overall project costs
to $9 billion.
According to BP, Mad Dog Phase 2's
semisubmersible floating production platform will have the capacity to produce
up to 140,000 bbl/d of oil from 14 subsea
production wells and inject up to 140,000
bbl/d of water to enhance recovery. Production is expected to begin in late 2021.
High-Efficiency Model
LLOG Exploration Company has long
made standardized designs and subsea
tiebacks an integral part of its "low-cost,
high-efficiency" development model in
the Gulf of Mexico. The latest example
is the LLOG-operated Buckskin development project in the ultradeepwater
Lower Tertiary Wilcox trend, the company's first Lower Tertiary project.
Located in 6,800 feet of water in the
Keathley Canyon area, the reservoir
depth at Buckskin ranges from 26,000
to 28,000 feet true vertical depth, and
LLOG estimates the field contains up to
5 billion boe. The initial phase of the
Buckskin project consists of two development wells with target total depths of

29,000 feet and subsea facilities to tie
the wells back six miles to the Anadarkoowned Lucius spar platform stationed
at Keathley Canyon 875. Ultimately,
LLOG expects to drill as many as 14
wells at Buckskin.
In April, LLOG Exploration also assumed operatorship of the deepwater
Shenandoah project in the Walker Ridge
area. Discovered by Anadarko in 2011,
six wells with multiple sidetracks have
since been drilled in the field. LLOG reports that it plans to develop Shenandoah
in multiple phases with a combination of
subsea completions and a floating production unit.
Meanwhile, Gulf operators continue
to make discoveries that ultimately could
progress to the field development stage,
including two major discoveries announced
last spring: Chevron's Ballymore in Mississippi Canyon 607 (the discovery well
encountered 670 feet of net oil pay), and
Shell's Whale in Alaminos Canyon 772
(1,400 feet of net oil pay).

Other Gulf discoveries since early
2017 include:
· Byron Energy's South Marsh Island
71 (211 feet of net oil pay);
· Stone Energy's Mt. Providence in
Mississippi Canyon 28 (153 feet of net
oil pay, with first production expected
this year using the Pompano platform
and existing subsea infrastructure);
· Talos Energy's Tornado in Green
Canyon Block 281(297 feet of net oil
pay);
· W&T Offshore's Ship Shoal Block
300 (173 feet of net pay) and Mahogany
in Ship Shoal 349 (149 feet of net pay),
· Deep Gulf Energy III's Rampart
Deep in Mississippi Canyon 117 (130
feet of net pay);
· Anadarko's Constellation in Green
Canyon 627 (120 feet of net pay), Calpurnia in Green Canyon 25 (60 feet of net
pay) and Phobos in Sigsbee Escarpment
39 (90 feet of net pay); and
· Walter Oil & Gas Corp.'s Coelacanth
in Ewing Bank 834.

Lillis Energy Inc. Trades For Delaware Basin Land
HOUSTON-Lillis Energy Inc. has entered into an acre-for-acre trade of 1,500
net acres in the Texas counties of Winkler
and Loving. The company says the transaction increases its gross working interest
in its Texas Delaware Basin asset to 35
percent, and further concentrates its acreage
in its main area of operational activity.
According to Lillis Energy, all of the
traded acreage was in nonoperated sections
with lower working interests. It says the
transaction also adds 100 net operated
locations targeting the Wolfcamp A, B
and XY, Bone Springs, and additional

benches.
"This trade increases our working interests in our core operated block within
our Delaware acreage in Texas, delivers
an increase in current net production and
is structured as an acre-for-acre trade,"
says Ronald D. Ormand, the company's
chairman and chief executive officer. "In
addition, the production and working interests added from this transaction and additional wells in completion move us closer
to our year-end target of 7,500 net barrels
of oil equivalent a day, which we expect to
exceed well before year-end."
