Byron strikes oil in Gulf of Mexico
USA “The SM71 F2 well has delivered a result that has significantly exceeded the joint ventures pre-drill expectations in both the B65 and D5 zones,” said Matthew Allen, Otto Energy’s managing director, in a statement. “The incremental oil volumes that will be added to this development are very high-value, as the joint venture has already installed its own production platform facilities.”
Each of the two partners holds a 50% working interest in the South Marsh Island 71 lease where the well was drilled, the statement added.
