Early Drilling Results at Subsalt Mahogany Field - Exploitation Strategies for Thin-Bedded Turbidite Reservoirs, Gulf of Mexico

Mahogany field was discovered in 1993 and is the industry's first subsalt development project in the Gulf of Mexico. The success at Mahogany field proved the viability of a new play and helped to turn around declining exploration drilling trends in the Gulf of Mexico. The impact of the Mahogany discovery can be measured by the rejuvenated exploration activity in the outer continental shelf and upper slope.
