The boost was a result of the recently completed Auger gas expansion project that increased the gas sales capacity of the TLP by 25%. The expansion will also enable the facility to accommodate production from future subsea developments in surrounding areas like Serrano in Garden Banks block 516 and Oregano in Garden Banks block 559. The workscope of the project included expansion of the pipeline system and Auger topsides.
