Macondo oil field reserves

30 Mar 2015 In this special report, editors from E&P and Oil and Gas Investor examine the response of the oil and gas industry, the scientific community and 

Because it may be one of the biggest oil reserves in the United States. Former CEO Tony Hayward estimated the Macondo field could yield between 50 million and 100 million barrels. The Macondo Prospect (Mississippi Canyon Block 252, abbreviated MC252) is an oil and gas prospect in the Gulf of Mexico, which was the site of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion in April 2010 that led to a major, ongoing oil spill in the region. The prospect may have held 50 million barrels (7.9×10^6 m3) producible reserves of oil source - Oil reserves (past and future): 96 billion. The largest oil field in the world in both reserves and daily production, Ghawar spans more than 2,000 square miles, an area slightly larger than services, result in stranded reserves, and likely weigh on prices, depending on the extent and timing of supply corrections, including the typical onshore conventional oil field decline rate of 4%-6% per annum. The “Macondo oil spill,” as it came to be called, had a devastating impact on the environment. Oil was scattered over more than 1,300 miles of shoreline from Texas to Florida. Owing to deep water ocean currents, the oil flowed hundreds of miles away from the blowout. A large volume of oil sank to the ocean floor. While the Saudis' 266,455 million barrels of proven oil reserves are marginally smaller than those of Venezuela, all of Saudi's oil is in conventionally accessible oil wells within large oil fields. Moreover, Saudi Arabia's reserves are considered to comprise a fifth of the entire globe's conventional reserves.

to increase significantly before that happens. This change would also affect demand for oil field services, result in stranded reserves, and likely weigh on prices, depending on the extent and timing of supply corrections, including the typical onshore conventional oil field decline rate of 4%-6% per annum. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill (also referred to as the BP oil spill, oil leak, or oil disaster; the Gulf of Mexico oil spill; and the Macondo blowout) is an industrial disaster that began on April 20, 2010, in the Gulf of Mexico on the BP-operated Macondo Prospect, considered to be the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum Clotted oil and fresh crude float nine miles from the BP Deepwater Horizon oil well spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. A Louisiana oil company will resume drilling near the site. The Macondo Prospect is the name of the reservoir the Deepwater Horizon floating oil rig was attempting to tap when the blowout occurred. It holds an estimated 50 million barrels of recoverable oil plus significant amounts of natural gas. The reservoir is beneath 5,000 feet of water plus 13,000 feet of rock. Macondo Background Information. BP holds 90% of interest in the Macondo field after acquiring Anadarko Petroleum Corporation’s 25% stake in 2011. The other 10% belongs to MOEX Offshore 2007. The area, just 40 miles offshore and 130 from New Orleans, is estimated to have held 50 million barrels of producible oil reserves.
