Description

The Thunder Horse platform is located about 150 miles southeast of New Orleans, La. in Mississippi Canyon at a water depth of 6,050 feet (1,844 meters) and is the largest semi-submersible facility in the world at 130,000 tonnes displacement. It has a deck load capacity of 40,000 tonnes and is designed to process and export up to 250,000 barrels of oil and 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.
In 2013, it was the 7th largest field in the USA
Subsea wells are connected to production manifolds on the seafloor and then to the PDQ via riser flowlines.
Oil and gas will be transported to existing shelf and onshore pipelines via the Proteus and Endymion oil pipeline systems and the Okeanos gas pipeline system, which are part of the Mardi Gras Offshore Oil And Gas Pipeline System
The field was originally called Crazy Horse
Thunder Horse South Expansion Project

New drilling centres are being added to the south of the development

History

1999 - Thunder Horse Oil Field discovered
2002 - BP Retires Crazy Horse Name - Project re-named Thunder Horse
2005 - The platform was found heavily listing following the passing of Hurricane Dennis
2008 - BP announced that it has successfully started production from the third and fourth wells
2013 - FMC awarded contract to supply water injection equipment
Geology

Production is from reservoirs between 14,000 to 19,000 feet (4,265 to 5,790 meters) below the seabed with reservoir pressures of 13,000 to 18,000 psi (approx 885 to 1255 bar) and reservoir temperatures of 190 to 270 degrees F (88 to 132 degrees C).
