Case Study
Subsea Boosting System Estimated to Increase Recovery by 10%–30%, Ultradeepwater Gulf of Mexico
CASE STUDY Improve economics of complex, tight, ultradeepwater reservoirs An operator in the ultradeepwater Gulf of Mexico wanted to improve hydrocarbon recovery from the Lower Tertiary trend, characterized by low porosities. The fields in question are located within 25 miles of each other, approximately 280 miles south of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, in about 7,000 ft of water. The project comprises three subsea centers tied back to a floati
