TotalEnergies has announced the start of production from the deepwater Ballymore field offshore US, in which the Company has a 40% interest alongside operator Chevron (60%).
Located 120 km off the Louisiana coast and launched in May 2022, Ballymore has a total daily gross production capacity of 75 000 bpd of oil and 50 million ft3/d of gas tied back to the Chevron operated Blind Faith floating production unit. At plateau, Ballymore will represent close to 30 000 boe/d net of cash-accretive production for TotalEnergies. The project utilises existing infrastructure as well as standardised equipment to ensure lower development costs and lower emission intensity.
“The start-up of Ballymore will increase TotalEnergies’ production capacity in US deepwater to more than 75 000 boe/d and contribute to the Company’s targeted hydrocarbon production growth of over 3% in 2025,” said Nicolas Terraz, President, Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies. “The United States is a major market for the deployment of our integrated energy model, which combines low breakeven and low emissions oil and gas projects with LNG and integrated power developments.”
