Anadarko Petroleum Corp. has discovered oil at its West Tonga prospect on Green Canyon block 726 in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The discovery well, located in 4,700 feet of water, was drilled to a total depth of 25,680 feet and encountered more than 350 feet of net oil pay in three high-quality subsalt Miocene sands. An Anadarko spokesman said there will likely be some associated gas with the discovery, but he said it was predominately oil. Anadarko operates West Tonga with a 37.5% working interest. Partners in the discovery include StatoilHydro with a 25% working interest, Chevron Corp. with a 20.5% working interest and Shell Exploration with a 17% working interest. “The West Tonga discovery continues the success of our deepwater Gulf of Mexico exploration program and further illustrates the value of our extensive hub-and-spoke infrastructure,” said Bob Daniels, senior vice president of Worldwide Exploration. Anadarko focuses on deepwater prospects in the Miocene and Lower Tertiary plays of the GOM that have estimated recoverable resources of more than 100 MMboe.
