Forest launches deep shelf production in Gulf of Mexico

Denver-based Forest Oil has launched first gas from its South Timbalier Block 72 discovery on the Gulf of Mexico’s continental shelf, the company said Nov. 17.

The No. 21 well, drilled to a total depth of 19,072 feet, is currently producing daily 2,000 barrels of liquids and 1.4 million cubic feet of natural gas, with a flowing tubing pressure of 5,500 psi, the company said. Forest, as operator, owns a 75 percent working interest in the well.

Dominion E&P, a subsidiary of Dominion Resources, holds the remaining 25 percent interest.
