Chevron Corporation has announced it started water injection operations at two projects to boost oil and natural gas recovery at the company’s existing Jack/St. Malo and Tahiti facilities in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico, where Chevron operations produce some of the world’s lowest carbon intensity oil and gas.
At the Jack/St. Malo facility, Chevron achieved first water injection at the St. Malo field, the company’s first waterflood project in the deepwater Wilcox trend. The project was delivered under budget, with the addition of water injection facilities, two new production wells, and two new injection wells. It is expected to add approximately 175 million barrels of oil equivalent to the St. Malo field’s gross ultimate recovery.
