The Ballymore asset is located in the Mississippi Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 3 miles from Chevron’s Blind Faith Floating Production Unit. The selected development concept expands the production capacity of the Blind Faith facility and utilizes Blind Faith’s available riser and umbilical slots to tie-back and produce Ballymore through a subsea production system designed to accommodate the high temperature and unique fluid characteristics of the Norphlet trend. This presentation will provide an overview of the selected development concept with focus on: (1) the development alternatives considered; (2) the design challenges associated with producing the Norphlet into an existing Miocene based production facility; (3) Blind Faith facility life extension to enable Ballymore’s complete asset development plan.
