Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Information

The deepwater portion of Gulf of Mexico has shown a remarkable increase in oil and gas exploration, development and production. In part this is due to the development of new technologies reducing operational costs and risks, as well as the finding of reservoirs with high production wells. There are about 90 announced Gulf deepwater prospects--the Gulf operators have been setting and surpassing records in water depth and length using new and improved proven technology.
