Based on BOEM and BSEE lease and well data for the past 10 years, LLOG’s Dome Patrol field appears to have reached first production in the shortest time for any new deepwater field. Less than 6.5 years after acquiring the Mississippi Canyon lease, LLOG began producing from a single Dome Patrol well (Mississippi Canyon Block 505) that is tied back to the Who Dat subsea infrastructure.

RIP Jerry Boelte, LLOG founder and offshore safety leader

Posted in Gulf of Mexico, Offshore Energy - General, tagged , , , , on March 21, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Jerry Boelte, LLOG founder and offshore energy leader, passed away last month in a single vehicle accident. Boelte, a New Orleans native and LSU petroleum engineering grad, turned LLOG into a major deepwater player in the Gulf of Mexico.

In 2023, LLOG was the 6th biggest oil producer in the Gulf of Mexico trailing only Shell, bp, Anadarko, Chevron, and Murphy. As a natural gas producer, LLOG ranked fifth ahead of major GoM operators like Chevron and Hess.

Boelte built LLOG into a company with a strong commitment to safety and environmental protection. In that regard, the company achieved BOE Honor Roll status in 2023 and 2022.

LLOG’s ‘Who Dat’ floating production system in 3100′ of water in Mississippi Canyon Block 547 has produced more than 100 million bbls of oil equivalent. More on ‘Who Dat.’
