LLOG Exploration Offshore has brought the Salamanca Floating Production Unit (FPU) online in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico, achieving first oil from the Leon field in Keathley Canyon Block 689. The facility, located in 6,400 ft of water, marks the first reuse of a former Gulf production unit repurposed for new development.
The FPU will be deployed northwest of the Djeno Terminal, offshore the Republic of Congo, at a depth of approximately 35 metres.
