Details that Define Success
The Who Dat oil and gas project, located in the Gulf of Mexico's Mississippi Canyon area, holds 100-300M barrels of oil equivalent, with a 30-year life. Operated by LLOG Exploration, it began production in December 2011, utilizing an Opti-Ex FPS semi-submersible on demand facility. With a focus on safety, efficiency, and efficient production operations, Who Dat represents a significant contribution to the US offshore oil and gas industry.
