The Chevron contract also includes mud line packers for three injection wells.
This is the first deployment of ESP systems inside the wellbore in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
“Longer-term, the experience and knowledge gained from Big Foot can potentially be applied to other developments in the deepwater market to extend field productivity,” said Richard Williams, president of the Gulf of Mexico for Baker Hughes. “We are happy to be working with Chevron on this groundbreaking project to extend the application of ESP technology in the deepwater environment.”
