Chevron Corporation has announced that it started oil and natural gas production from the Anchor project in the deep water U.S. Gulf of Mexico. It will provide affordable, reliable, lower carbon intensity oil and natural gas to help meet energy demand, while boosting economic activity for Golf Coast communities.
The Anchor semi-submersible floating production unit (FPU) has a design capacity of 75,000 gross barrels of oil per day and 28 million gross cubic feet of natural gas per day. The Anchor development will consist of seven subsea wells tied into the Anchor FPU, located in the Green Canyon area, approximately 140 miles (225 km) off the coast of Louisiana, in water depths of 5,000 feet (1,524 m). Total potentially recoverable resources from the Anchor field are estimated to be up to 440 million barrels of oil equivalent.
To reduce carbon emissions, the Anchor FPU was designed as an all-electric facility with electric motors and electronic controls. Additionally, the FPU utilizes waste heat and vapour recovery units as well as existing pipeline infrastructure to transport oil and natural gas directly to U.S. Gulf Coast markets.
