Chevron and Hess will team up to drill the prospect known as Sicily in the Keathley Canyon area of the US Gulf, an outboard Paleogene target.
A spud date is expected either late this year or early next year, with results expected in the third quarter of 2015.
Sicily is a large four-way closure located about 228 miles (366 kilometres) off Louisiana, west of Chevron’s Buckskin discovery and just south of Repsol’s recently announced Leon find.
