TotalEnergies has commenced production from the Ballymore deepwater field in the US Gulf of Mexico, the company said on Monday.
The company holds a 40% stake in the project alongside Chevron as operator with 60%.
Located 120 kilometres off Louisiana’s coast, the Ballymore field ties back to Chevron’s Blind Faith floating production unit. It has a daily gross production capacity of 75,000 bopd and 50 mcf (1.4 mcm) of gas. The project, launched in May 2022, uses existing infrastructure and standardised equipment to minimise development costs and emissions.
