Drilling Activity Summary

Description

LLOG Exploration has filed a supplemental exploration plan to drill up to four tests on the company’s Buckskin project. The development tests will be drilled from offsetting surface locations on Keathley Canyon Block 829 (OCS G25814)—two tests will bottom in Block 829 and two tests will bottom to the east in previously undrilled Block 830 (OCS G25815). Area water depth is 6,650 ft. The Buckskin discovery, #1 (BP) OCS G25823 on Keathley Canyon Block 872, was completed in 2009 by Chevron Corp. The deepwater find hit more than 300 ft of net pay in Lower Tertiary zones. Total depth is 29,404 ft. LLOG was the designated operator of the Buckskin leases in 2016 after Chevron decided to end the prospect’s development. LLOG’s headquarters are in Covington, La.
