Project Description
The Who Dat field is located on Mississippi Canyon Blocks 503, 504 and 547 in the Gulf of Mexico in 3,000 feet (914 meters) of water. LLOG operates the field with a 67.5% interest.

The Ocean Victory semisub discovered the LLOG OCS-G-27277 well in December 2007. The discovery well found more than 380 feet (116 meters) of gas and oil pay zones in four separate reservoir packages. The field was further appraised by two wells testing additional targets in 2010. Once appraisal operations were completed, Who Dat was deemed commercially viable.

Who Dat is primarily an oil field consisting of nine stacked, amplitude-supported reservoirs in a salt withdrawal mini-basin. The wells targeted reservoirs ranging in depths from 12,000 to 17,000 TVD. Collectively, the three ...

The field was further appraised by two wells testing additional targets in 2010. Once appraisal operations were completed, Who Dat was deemed commercially viable.

Who Dat is primarily an oil field consisting of nine stacked, amplitude-supported reservoirs in a salt withdrawal mini-basin. The wells targeted reservoirs ranging in depths from 12,000 to 17,000 TVD. Collectively, the three wells penetrated more than 700 feet (213 meters) of net pay in nine distinct reservoirs. It is believed the field holds more than 300 MMboe.

Field Development

The development plan for Who Dat, moored on MC 547 in 3,100 feet (945 meters) of water, consisted of completing three existing subsea wells, drilling an additional two wells and producing the wells through a subsea system capable of handling up to 12 wells. The wells should flow through three subsea manifolds to the OPTI-EX FPS through flexible risers.

The OPTI-EX FPS, delivered to LLOG in July 2011, is capable of producing up to 60,000 bopd, 150 MMcf/d and 40,000 bwpd.

Initial production from the Who Dat field commenced on December 9, 2011. LLOG is ramping up production and expects to achieve a rate of 20, 000 bopd and 22 MMcf/d from the three existing wells.

The development plan for the field calls for the company to drill nine additional wells, which would fully utilize the 60,000 bopd and 150 MMcf/d capacity of the floating production system.

Type: Status Update

Jul. 2011 - Exmar has delivered the Opti-Ex FPS, for use on the Who Dat field, to LLOG at Mississippi Canyon Block 547 in the Gulf of Mexico. Mooring and installation of the FPS is scheduled to follow. The Who Dat FPS has a processing capacity of 60,000 bopd and 150 MMcf/d of natural gas. The Who Dat field, situated in 3,000 feet (914 meters) of water, is expected to commence production in 3Q11. LLOG operates the field with a 67.5% interest.

LLOG Plans to Commence Production at Who Dat in 3Q11
Type: Status Update

Feb. 2011 - LLOG announced it plans to drill additional wells at its Who Dat field in Mississippi Canyon Block 503 in the Gulf of Mexico to fully develop the field. Production from the three wells drilled to date is expected to commence in 3Q11.

FMC, LLOG Exploration Sign Multi-Year GOM Alliance Agreement
Type: Development Activity

Apr. 2008 - FMC Technologies, Inc. has signed a multi-year alliance agreement with LLOG Exploration Company, L.L.C., for pending oilfield development projects in the Gulf of Mexico.

EXMAR has delivered the OPTI-EX® FPS to LLOG Deepwater Development Company on July 5, 2011.

Who Dat
Producing - Under Dev. - Dec 09, 2011 to -

LLOG Exploration successfully initiated production from the Who Dat development in Mississippi Canyon 503/504/547. LLOG is ramping up production and expects to achieve a rate of 20 MBOPD and 22 MMCFD from the three existing wells.

Under Development - 2011 to Dec 08, 2011

The development plan for the field provides for completing existing wells, drilling additional wells once deepwater drilling resumes in the OCS and producing the wells through a subsea system that will be capable of handling up to 12 wells.

Appraisal Drilling - 2010 to 2011

Two successful follow-up wells were drilled in 2010 to test additional targets. The first was drilled in MC 503 and the second in MC 547.

Discovery (Drilled) - Dec 2007 to 2010

Additional appraisal/development wells are planned in 2008 with first production anticipated between late 2009 to early 2010.

Exploratory Drilling - Oct 2007 to Dec 2007

Discovery drilled on MC503 using Diamond's Ocean Victory. The MC 503 #1 well penetrated over 380 feet of gas and oil pay zones in four separate reservoir packages.
