  • Bonvillain

    Bonvillain is a Pliocene-Upper Miocene oil prospect located in the prolific Auger Basin in Garden Banks. The prospect is a series of stacked amplitudes that tie directly to the primary pay at Shell’s Cardamom discovery (100 MMBOE) which is located 6 miles south of the prospect. The amplitudes appear thick with excellent down dip conformance. The mean prospect...

  • Madame X

    Madame X is a Pliocene-Upper Miocene oil prospect located in the prolific Auger Basin in Garden Banks. It is 5 miles southwest of DGE IIIs Bonvillain prospect. The prospect is a series of stacked amplitudes mapped just below the Cardamom pays. The mean prospect potential is 46 MMBOE.

  • Tornado

    Tornado

    The Tornado Field is a Pliocene oil discovery made by DGE III in 2016 in Green Canyon 281. The discovery well was drilled in a down dip position and encountered 291 TVD feet of high quality oil pay. Subsequently the well was sidetracked to an up dip take point and found 281 TVT net feet of oil pay. The well...

    Kodiak Project

    The Kodiak Field was originally discovered by BP and partners in 2008. The discovery well logged over 400 net feet of Middle and Lower Miocene oil pay. An appraisal well was drilled in 2009 that delineated the field. DGE II bought BP’s working interest in the field in 2012. Subsequently DGE II farmed-in the interest of another existing leaseholder and then...

  • Marmalard Project

    The Marmalard Field was discovered in 2012 by a well that was operated by LLOG.  To date, four wells have been successfully drilled and completed in multiple middle Miocene pay sands. The wells are tied into a subsea manifold located in MC 300 which is tied back to the Delta House FPS with dual flow lines.  The field...

  • Son of Bluto 2

    The Son of Bluto 2 Field was discovered in 2012 in Mississippi Canyon 431.  The discovery well encountered pay in two middle Miocene zones.  The well was completed and began production in 2015.  A second well may be drilled pending reservoir performance.  The well is tied back to the Delta House FPS with dual flow lines.
