LLOG Exploration Co., a privately owned exploration and production company focused on the deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM), is planning to deliver a new production facility in the region.
The Salamanca production facility is composed of a Floating Production Unit (FPU) that will be created from the refurbishment of a decommissioned GOM production facility. The FPU will serve as the collection point for production from the joint development of the Leon discovery, located in the deepwater GOM in Keathley Canyon, as well as from the Castile discovery in KC 736. The facility will be located in approximately 6,400 feet of water.
Leon is a discovery drilled by Repsol in late 2014 on KC 642 and is located about 250 miles southwest of New Orleans in around 6,000 feet of water. The Castile discovery was drilled on KC 736 in more than 6,500 feet of water.
Both discoveries are expected to be jointly developed through three subsea wells at initial production that will be tied
