Chevron Corporation announced that crude oil and natural gas production has begun at the Jack/St. Malo project in the Gulf of Mexico. Jack/St. Malo is a key part of Chevron's queue of upstream projects and was delivered on time and on budget.
The Jack and St. Malo fields are among the largest in the Gulf of Mexico. They were discovered in 2004 and 2003, respectively, and production from the first development stage is expected to increase over the next several years to 94 000 boe/d and 21 million cubic feet of natural gas.
"The Jack/St. Malo project delivers valuable new production and supports our plan to reach 3.1 million bpd by 2017," said George Kirkland, vice chairman and executive vice president, Upstream, Chevron Corporation.
The Jack and St. Malo fields are located within 25 miles of each other in approximately 7000 ft of water in the Walker Ridge area, approximately 280 miles south of New Orleans, Louisiana.
