ExxonMobil
participates in production startup of Gulf of Mexico Llano field
Posted: 17 May 2004
Exxon Mobil Corporation announced today the startup of production
from the Llano field, approximately 200 miles southwest of New Orleans
in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to ExxonMobil with 22.5 percent
equity, interest owners include Shell (operator at 27.5 per cent)
and Amerada Hess (50 per cent).
Production at the field, located in Garden Banks blocks 385 and
386 in 2,600 feet of water, is currently flowing at an approximate
gross rate of 10,500 barrels of oil and 26 million cubic feet of
gas per day from one well. Production began on April 30, and is
producing through an 11.5-mile flowline to the Shell Auger platform.
Dedicated processing capacity at Auger for Llano is 25,000 barrels
of oil and 75 million cubic feet of gas per day. The second of two
initial wells is planned to be on production later in May.
With interests in more than 40 producing Gulf of Mexico fields,
development projects under way, participation in high-potential
discoveries and a strong inventory of prospects, ExxonMobil is well
positioned for future growth. The company also owns interests in
approximately 600 deepwater exploration blocks throughout the Gulf
encompassing more than 3.4 million gross and 2.8 million net acres.
