Located in approximately 7,650ft of water, the Hadrian South field produces through two subsea wells which are connected to the nearby Anadarko-operated Lucius field facilities.
Daily capacity of the Lucius platform is 80,000 barrels of oil and 450 million cubic feet of gas, of which 300 million are committed to Hadrian South.
The field’s daily production is estimated to reach 300 million cubic feet of gas and 2,250 barrels of liquids, for a total of about 52,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boe).
Daily production share of the company is expected to be around 16,000 boe once both of Hadrian South’s wells are ramped up.
ExxonMobil operates the Hadrian South field with a 46.7% interest while Eni and Petrobras own 30% and 23.3% interest respectively.
ExxonMobil Development Company president Neil Duffin said: "Developing Gulf of Mexico oil and gas resources creates jobs, generates revenue and supports American energy security."
