LLOG Exploration Offshore has announced the sanctioning of its Taggart discovery in the Gulf of Mexico and the signing of a production handling agreement for development via tieback to the Williams-owned Devils Tower Spar in Mississippi Canyon 773.

The Taggart discovery is located on Mississippi Canyon Block 816 in approximately 5650 ft of water. The Mississippi Canyon 816 #1 discovery well was drilled in 2013 to a depth of 11 562 ft and encountered 97 ft of net pay in two Miocene objectives. Two subsequent appraisal wells were drilled in 2015 and 2019 and encountered 147 ft and 84 ft of net pay, respectively.

Philip LeJeune, President and CEO of LLOG, commented: "LLOG is pleased to announce the sanctioning of our Taggart discovery, and we look forward to the successful development of this deepwater asset. We are proud to have finalised an agreement with Williams for the recovery and processing of Taggart's reserves via subsea tieback to their nearby Devils Tower Spar. Williams will provide the infrastructure necessary for the efficient and economic development of the Taggart discovery which has reserves totalling approximately 27 million boe. We believe this partnership is a perfect match due to both companies' experience developing deepwater assets and commitment to operating with excellence, integrity, and safety. LLOG is looking forward to beginning the successful execution of this deepwater Gulf of Mexico development project."

LLOG and its affiliates own 100% of the Taggart development. Initial development plans at Taggart include the completion and tie back of two wells with first production expected in 2022.
