Anadarko on Monday announced it achieved first oil at its Heidelberg field in the Gulf of Mexico ahead of schedule. It is the company’s second major truss spar development in the gulf in the past two years. The design of the 80,000-barrel-per-day Heidelberg facility mirrors that of its Lucius truss spar, which came on line in January 2015.
Anadarko owns 31% of Heidelberg, and partners Cobalt, Eni, ExxonMobil, Freeport McMoran, Marubeni and Statoil own the remaining 69%.
