Multidisciplinary Approach Unravels Structural Complexities Of Stampede Reservoir By Gopal Mohapatra, Andry Nabasir and Steve Strauss HOUSTON-First oil from the Hess Corp.-operated Stampede Field is scheduled for 2018 from a new tension leg platform stationed in 3,350 feet of water at Green Canyon 468. Stampede holds total recoverable resources estimated at 300 million-350 million barrels of oil equivalent in Miocene sands located at subsurface depths of approximately 30,000 feet, ranking it among the deepest fields ever developed in the Gulf of Mexico. The TLP is designed to support two export risers and multiple production risers connected to subsea well centers. The initial plan calls for six producing wells and four injection wells, with daily topside processing throughput capacities of 80,000 barrels of oil, 100,000 barrels of water injection, and 40 million cubic feet of produced gas.
