Deimos Subsea Development

Deimos

• Deimos is located in Mississippi Canyon Blocks 762 and 806, in 3,000 feet of water.
• Deimos is in the Mars Producing Unit, which is a Shell and BP partnership (71.5 percent and 28.5 percent working interests, respectively).
• Deimos was discovered in September 2002, when Shell encountered 248 true vertical net feet oil in multiple sands of the exploratory section and 287 net feet oil in the known producing field pays.
• At a total vertical depth of 18,000 to 22,000 feet, the Deimos subsalt reservoirs are among the deepest in our Gulf of Mexico producing assets. 
• Deimos achieved first production in 2007.
• Deimos is a phased development; Phase I has a peak production capacity of 30 kboe/day. This first phase consists of a three-well subsea system tied back to the Mars Tension Leg Platform. The system selection for Deimos Phase II is dependent on Phase I appraisal data and production. Options for the second phase could range from additional subsea tiebacks to a stand-alone concept.
