Shell Oil Co. plans to sidetrack a deepwater development test in the company’s Coulomb Field. The #4 (ST) OCS G08496 will be in the southern half of Mississippi Canyon Block 657. According to the permit, the original hole will be kicked off at 13,200 ft. Area water depth is 7,400 ft. Two producing wells in Coulomb Field (Mississippi Canyon Block 657) are in the northern portion of Block 657, with one well on adjacent Block 613. Production is from Middle Miocene at 17,158-18,750 ft. Coulomb Field came online in 2004, with production initially coming from two wells. Houston-based Shell completed the third well in the field in 2016.
