After bringing eight wells online in 2018 in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GoM), Louisiana-based LLOG Exploration has its sight set on bringing nine more wells online in 2019.

Of the nine new fields brought online last year in the GoM, five were operated by LLOG, said Philip LeJeune, president and CEO of LLOG.

“All of these accomplishments are evidence of our ability to continue to execute on our strategy of generating deepwater prospects in areas of proven success near existing infrastructure that can be drilled, developed and placed on production efficiently and economically,” LeJeune said in a Jan. 14 company statement.

LLOG said it plans to bring online four development wells from the Who Dat, Mandy and Red Zinger fields plus five wells from three new fields—Stonefly, Buckskin and Nearly Headless Nick—in 2019.

“LLOG continues to progress 10 other developments and has an extensive pipeline of follow up development drilling to prior exploratory successes,” the company said in the release.
