The 72.5 km, 20 inch diameter Big Foot Oil Pipeline will connect the Big Foot field to a subsea connection on existing deepwater pipeline infrastructure and have the capacity to transport 100,000 bbl/d of crude. The Big Foot field lies in the Walker Ridge Area of the Gulf of Mexico and is estimated to contain total recoverable resources in excess of 200 MMboe.
The WGRS involves the construction of 306 km of 8-12 inch diameter pipelines to provide natural gas gathering services to the Jack, St Malo and Big Foot ultra-deepwater developments.
Both projects are targeted to be operational for the end of 2012.
