It's high on the list of possibilities. A compliant tower at Conger would make for an interesting sight in the Gulf of Mexico. Amerada's Baldpate compliant tower is being installed just southeast of the Conger find. With the experience (from Baldpate), we could probably do it faster and cheaper, Tursi added. The company and its partners, Shell Offshore and Oryx Energy, have drilled two wells at Conger, both encountering approximately 300 feet of net pay.
Hess wrestles Conger
AMERADA Hess is reviewing the possible use of a compliant tower to develop its Conger field in the northern part of Garden Banks block 215 in the Gulf of Mexico. It's one of the things we are considering, said Amerada Hess vice president Carl Tursi. But no decision has been made.
