Name of the Project
North Platte field development.
Location
The North Platte field straddles four blocks of the Garden Banks area, 275 km off the coast of Louisiana, in the US, in 1 300 m of water.
Project Owner/s
Total with a 60% working interest, operates North Platte alongside Equinor (40%).
Project Description
The North Platte field development plan is based on eight subsea wells and two subsea drilling bases connected by two production loops to a newbuild, lightweight floating production unit.
Production will be exported through existing oil and gas subsea networks.
North Platte requires the use of 20 000-pounds-per-square-inch technologies.
Oil production at plateau level is expected to average 75 000 bbl/d. Output will include associated gas.
