The wells—#1 and #1 (ST) OCS G6664 and #1 (ST2) OCS G26664— were drilled by Remington Oil and Gas Corp., which Helix acquired last summer. It drilled the wells in 2,715 ft. of water, with the #1 reaching 19,250 ft. and the first sidetrack, 19,800 ft. Helix reported a reserve potential of at least 100 billion cu. ft. of gas equivalent.
