Gibson新发现为Tigris勘探注入强心剂

Chevron’s Tigris development in the Keathley Canyon area of the US Gulf of Mexico appears to have gained a fresh boost this summer after the supermajor reported to regulators that its Gibson wildcat was a discovery, writes Kathrine Schmidt.The well was drilled in Keathley Canyon Block 96 by the drillship Pacific Santa Ana in 4838 feet of water.The well was permitted to a depth of 31,782 feet. Gibson had been seen as a potential make or break probe for the Tigris development, which was initiated in January 2015 when Chevron agreed a deal to take over operatorship from BP of its 2009 Tiber and 2013 Gila discoveries.
