- Expansion adds two subsea water injection wells about 150 miles south of New Orleans.
- Adds approximately 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) gross peak annualised average production, about 5,000 boe/d net to bp.
- Project was delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.
- bp also sanctioned Kaskida and Tiber platforms, expected to add 160,000 barrels per day by the end of 2030.
Start-up
bp has started up the Atlantis Major Facility Expansion project in the US Gulf of America. Atlantis is located about 150 miles south of New Orleans and has been in production for nearly 20 years.
Scope and output
The expansion adds two new subsea water injection wells to increase pressure in targeted reservoirs, unlocking additional barrels and extending the producing life of the field. The project adds approximately 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) of gross peak annualised average production, with around 5,000 boe/d net to bp.
Delivery
The project was delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.
