Drilling Activity Summary

Description

According to IHS Markit, BP Plc has scheduled more development drilling in the Mad Dog Field area. The #7 OCS G09981 will be drilled in Green Canyon Block 825. Numerous development tests have been drilled from a site in the central portion of Block 825, with bottomholes beneath blocks 825, 829 and 869. London-based BP discovered Mad Dog (Green Canyon Block 826) Field in 1998 and began production with its first platform in 2005. Continued appraisal drilling in the field during 2009 and 2011 created the need for another platform.
