little noise on the water compared with
the land and not as much interference.
As a result, we are able to image better,
even under the salt. Apparently, we haven't
gotten to the bottom yet."
The downturn prompted the company
to stack the rig it was using to drill the
Mahogany Field, he relates, but it resumed
activity last fall. "We put it back to work

when prices starting coming back up,"

weight by up to 33%
* 1502 union easy to maintain
or replace
* ACME threaded connections
- no pipe threads

Krohn relates. "During the industry downturn, we remained focused on evaluating
the drilling and production data from
certain other wells, as well as the advanced
seismic data we had acquired and interpreted to help us better understand Mahogany's subsalt opportunities.
"Additionally, we have planned a number of recompletion and workover opportunities, including two workovers at
Mahogany, which offer low risk and solid
returns from wells that were drilled in
stacked reservoirs with multiple pay
zones," he continues. "These projects
help us maintain our profile with a modest
capital budget."
In addition to handling its own production, Krohn says, the company's Mahogany platform also is handling some
production from other companies.
Last fall, W&T Offshore also recompleted the A-1 well at Viosca Knoll 823
"Virgo" and the Ewing Bank 954 A-8
well. According to Krohn, both wells have
exceeded expectations, with production
rates of 4,400 boe a day gross and 3,200
boe/d net in the fourth quarter. "We are
continuing our work in the Ewing Bank
Field, and our intent is to drill a new
Virgo well, hopefully in 2017," he says.

"There is still more to do," Krohn acknowledges. "I think 2017 will see us return to a more normal operational state,
buying more property and drilling new
wells."
