Habanero Subsea Development
Habanero is located in Garden Banks Block 341 in the Gulf of Mexico about 200 miles southeast of New Orleans in approximately 2,015 feet of water. The GB 341 lease was acquired in OCS Lease Sale 155 in 1996.
The lease is 55% percent owned by Shell Exploration & Production Company, with Murphy Oil holding a 33.75% interest and Callon Petroleum holding the remaining 11.25% interest. Shell is the operator of Habanero. The discovery well was drilled to a measured depth of 21,158 feet in December 1998 and January 1999 using the Ocean Concord.
The target reserves are in H52 and H55 sands at depths of approximately 18,720 feet subsea and 19,320 feet subsea. Located in an upper and lower zone, net pay is approximately 225 feet of oil and 70 feet of gas condensate, respectively. The reserves are both oil and gas.
Development
Habanero utilizes a subsea system tied back 11.5 miles to the Auger tension leg platform on Garden Banks Block 426 in 2,860 feet of water. The subsea system consists of 2 wells connected to a dual pipe-in-pipe flowline system. The flowlines are electrically heated-ready. A 15 tube electro-hydraulic umbilical provides injection chemicals, hydraulics as well as electric power and communications to the system.
