First oil from Big Foot
The Chevron-operated Big Foot deepwater project, located in the US Gulf of Mexico, has started crude oil and natural gas production. Located in some 5,200 feet (1,584 metres) of water, Big Foot is estimated to contain total recoverable resources of more than 200mn boe and has a projected production life of 35 years.
The project uses a 15-slot drilling and production tension-leg platform, reportedly the deepest of its kind in the world, and is designed for a capacity of 75,000 b/d of oil and 25mn c/d of natural gas.
Chevron holds a 60% working interest in Big Foot, partnered by Equinor (27.5%) and Marubeni Oil & Gas (12.5%).
