ABSTRACT

Ram Powell is one of the major tension-leg platform (TLP) developments in the eastern deep-water Previous HitGulfNext Hit of Previous HitMexicoNext Hit. The three main turbidite reservoirs are producing from a total of five horizontal, open-hole, gravel-packed wells. The high rate and high ultimate recovery from these horizontal wells have reduced substantially the development well count (in one reservoir by 50%). Well A-3ST1 at one time held a Previous HitGulfNext Hit of Previous HitMexicoTop (GOM) record of highest rate for a single well--40,900 BOE per day.
