据世界天然气网4月13日消息，这口井位于Green Canyon 821区块，由BP代表共同拥有者Chevron和Talos Energy钻井。
BP持有50%的工作权益，是运营商，Talos和Chevron各持有25%的工作权益。
该油田位于BP运营的Mad Dog油田以西，距离路易斯安那州海岸约131英里，水深4108英尺。
BP及其合作伙伴于2019年底首次使用Seadrill的West Auriga钻井船开始钻井，但在盐下设置套管并达到约21500英尺的真实垂直深度后，于2020年1月暂停钻井。2020年第四季度重新开始作业。
根据BP周二的更新，该井的钻井总深度为23,530英尺。
该井在一个高质量的中新世油藏中遇到了油层，其流体性质与该地区的中新世生产性油藏相似。初步数据显示，该井具有商业油气量的潜力。
BP墨西哥湾和加拿大高级副总裁Starlee Sykes在评论此次发现时表示。"我们的油气业务具有弹性和针对性，是BP战略的核心，在墨西哥湾，我们在我们最熟悉的油藏进行投资和勘探。我们正在利用我们的地震专业知识和钻探能力，安全地寻找和开发优势油气。
"我们期待着评估这次发现的潜力及其在BP全球投资组合中的竞争力。我为我们的团队能够完成这个项目感到骄傲--尤其是在全球疫情期间"。
BP本周还迎来了用于价值90亿美元的 "Mad Dog 2 "项目的Argos平台，它完成了从韩国到德克萨斯州英格利赛德的Kiewit Offshore Services制造场的1.6万英里旅程。

BP strikes oil in delayed deepwater Gulf of Mexico well
The well, on Green Canyon Block 821, was drilled by BP on behalf of co-owners Chevron and Talos Energy.
BP holds a 50 per cent working interest and is the operator with Talos and Chevron each holding a 25 per cent working interest.
It is located west of the BP-operated Mad Dog field and is approximately 131 miles off the coast of Louisiana in 4,108 feet of water.
BP and its partners first started drilling the well in late 2019 using Seadrill’s West Auriga drillship only to suspend it in January 2020 after setting casing below salt and reaching a true vertical depth of approximately 21,500 feet. Operations re-started in the fourth quarter of 2020.
According to BP’s update on Tuesday, the well was drilled to a total depth of 23,530 feet.
The well encountered oil pay in a high-quality Miocene reservoir with fluid properties similar to productive Miocene reservoirs in the area. Preliminary data supports the potential for a commercial volume of hydrocarbons.
Commenting on the discovery, Starlee Sykes, BP senior vice president Gulf of Mexico and Canada, said: “Our resilient and focused hydrocarbons business is core to BP’s strategy, and in the Gulf of Mexico we invest and explore in the reservoirs we know best. We are using our seismic expertise and drilling capability to safely find and develop advantaged oil and gas.
“We look forward to evaluating the potential of this discovery and its competitiveness across bp’s global portfolio. I’m proud of our team for delivering this project – especially during a global pandemic”.
BP also this week welcomed its Argos platform for the $9 billion Mad Dog 2 project, after completing its 16,000-mile journey from South Korea to the Kiewit Offshore Services fabrication yard in Ingleside, Texas.
