Hummer Jacket Completed
Tuesday 26 July 2016
Work has been completed on the jacket for Castex Energy’s shallow-water Hummer development in the US Gulf of Mexico.
Joint venture partner Petsec Energy revealed Tuesday fabrication of the four pile, three slot structure had been completed.
The jacket is scheduled to be installed in mid-August in 215 feet of water over the Hummer Main Pass Block 270-3 Hummer discovery well which was drilled last year.
The suspended discovery well will then be tied back to the jacket and a test will be a carried out, with results expected in September or early October.
The well will then be suspended for future production while the platform deck, facilities and pipelines are fabricated and installed.
Petsec currently estimates first oil from the Hummer development, which covers Main Pass blocks 270, 273 and 274, by mid next year.
