Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Renaissance Petroleum Co. has permitted the first of up to three wells to be drilled in offshore Louisiana’s Vermilion Block 369 Field. IHS Markit reported that the #1-A OCS G36201 will be drilled from the existing A platform in the far eastern portion of the block (OCS G02274). The development test has a planned bottom-hole location to the southeast in Vermilion Block 385. Water depth is 360 ft. The Houston-based company filed a development plan for the area in 2018. According to the plan, two more tests are scheduled to be drilled from the platform, also bottoming beneath Block 385. Vermilion Block 369 Field was brought online in 1980, with the most of the reservoir’s production coming from Pleistocene zones at 3,500-6,700 ft.
