BP has delivered first oil from the Atlantis Drill Center 1 expansion project in the U.S. Gulf of America, two months ahead of plan.
The project is expected to add 15,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) gross peak annualized average production at the existing Atlantis platform.
Atlantis, one of BP’s longest-running platforms in the Gulf of America, has a gross production capacity of up to 200,000 barrels of oil per day.
The Atlantis Drill Center 1 expansion adds two wells to an existing drill center, a subsea hub connecting multiple wells. The subsea tieback, which connects new wells to existing offshore production facilities through pipelines, extends the footprint of the Atlantis field discovered in 1998.
BP delivered the Atlantis Drill Center 1 expansion project two months ahead of its original schedule by utilizing existing subsea inventory, drilling and completing wells more efficiently, and streamlining offshore execution planning.
Thie achievement marks BP’s fifth major startup that has been delivered ahead of schedule this year.
BP is Atlantis’ operator with 56% working interest. The co-owner is Woodside Energy, with 44% share.
The Atlantis platform is BP’s deepest moored floating platform in the Gulf of America. It operates in 7,074 feet
