Talos Energy Inc. (NYSE: TALO) has started production ahead of schedule from its Mt. Providence subsea well located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico’s Mississippi Canyon area, the company said July 19.

The company said the well began producing July 10, about 60 days before the originally planned completion date in early September. The well was drilled in January by Stone Energy Corp. prior to the closing of its merger with Talos.

“The combined Talos team completed the well and hooked it up to the 100% Talos owned Pompano platform in the company’s Mississippi Canyon complex within six months of concluding drilling operations,” Talos said in the release.

With a current gross production of 3,850 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), production is near the top of guidance of between 2,000 boe/d and 4,000 boe/d, the company said.
