Tailwind Energy Ltd. announced first oil from the 100% owned Gannet E redevelopment to the Triton FPSO, the company said on Dec. 9.
The subsea tieback project was completed in September 2018 with first oil delivered on budget and on schedule. All three wells are producing higher than expectation providing a combined rate of ca.10,000 barrels per day (bbl/d).
Across its portfolio, Tailwind will exit the year producing in excess of 20,000 bbl/d net to the company. The field is operated by Tailwind with Dana as the pipeline and facility operator and Petrofac as the well operator. Gannet E further establishes Tailwind’s portfolio of producing fields and demonstrates the company’s ability to successfully bring new reserves online.
