Tuesday, January 20, 2015

The US Gulf of Mexico deepwater Madison well has been plugged and abandoned after failing to find commercial hydrocarbons.

Operator Noble Energy drilled the well to a total depth of 16,850ft, in 7149ft water depth, on Mississippi Canyon 479. It reached the targeted Upper and Middle Miocene objectives.

Noble Energy has 60% working interest with partner Stone Energy Offshore holding the remaining 40%.
