BP Expands US Gulf Production with Start-Up at Atlantis Platform

BP has marked another milestone in its expansion plans for the Gulf of America. The company announced it has started production at its Atlantis offshore platform, a major facility located approximately 150 miles south of New Orleans in water depths of 7,074 feet.

The Atlantis field was discovered in 1998 and has been producing oil and gas for nearly two decades. BP's expansion project includes the addition of two new subsea water injection wells, subsea trees, and topside water injection pumps designed to boost reservoir pressure and support future operations.

The development is expected to deliver approximately 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, with about 5,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day attributable to BP. The company holds a 56% operating interest in the field, while Woodside Energy owns the remaining 44%.
