Castex Energy is set to fabricate and install a platform jacket over the Main Pass Block 270 #3 BP 1 well on its Hummer exploration prospect, in the Gulf of Mexico, according to partner Petsec Energy.
The well is located about 50mi southeast of Venice, Louisiana at 215ft water depth.
The well, which was drilled and mud-line suspended at 14,300ft, will be completed and tested after the jacket has been fabricated and installed. The anticipated timeframe for the fabrication, installation, well completion and testing is approximately six to seven months.
The Main Pass 270 #3 BP 1 well was drilled utilizing the Ensco 87 jackup drilling rig. Petsec has a 12.5% non-operating stake in the well. Other private companies hold 87.5% interest.
