- The development will use a four-column semi-submersible host facility, which is a clone of that in the Vito Oil Field
- Gas will be exported via a 25-mile gas lateral pipeline build from the Whale platform to the existing Perdido gas pipeline and a new 125-mile oil pipeline to the existing Williams-owned GA-A244 junction platform. The natural gas will be transported to Williams’ Markham gas processing plant located in Matagorda, TX.
