Talos logs two Green Canyon deepwater strikes

HOUSTON – Talos Energy reported successful drilling operations in its Bulleit and Orlov prospects in the Green Canyon deepwater Gulf of Mexico block as part of its second quarter 2019 earnings results.

The Bulleit prospect encountered approximately 140 feet of net true vertical depth oil pay in its shallow target, the DTR-10 Sand, and approximately 110 feet of net TVD oil pay in the deeper MP sand. The well will be completed in the first half of 2020 and then tied back to the Talos-owned and operated Green Canyon 18  facility located approximately 10 miles west of Bulleit.

Talos reports its Orlov prospect initially encountered approximately 100 feet of net true vertical thickness oil pay in the main target Aspen J sand, as well as additional pay sands in shallower zones along the same trap. The operator, Fieldwood Energy, currently has a rig on location and will soon commence an operation to re-enter the well and drill an appraisal sidetrack to optimize the well location in relation to the discovered resources. Initial production from Orlov is expected in the first quarter of 2020 and will be tied back to the Fieldwood-operated Bullwinkle facility.
