Drilling Down Deep

Deepwater

In the past 30 years, what we know as “deep water” has shifted from 500 m to nearer to 3,600m, with some projects targeting almost 4,000 m water depth today. The 2nd generation drillships, which dominated the field at the early stage of deepwater exploration drilling, have now been replaced by 6th and 7th generation units. Elaine Maslin spoke with Total’s Philippe Jeannet, Drilling & Wells Manager, Deepwater & Subsea Product line, about deepwater technology evolution and what’s coming next.

The Total Deepwater Roadmap

Total is the world record holder for deepest water drilling, with Raya-1, drilled in 3,400 m water depth off Uruguay in 2016. This year, it expects to break that record, with the Ondjaba-1 exploration well in 3,628 m water depth, offshore Angola. Elaine Maslin spoke with Total's Jean-Benoit Laudet and Eric Meyer about the future deepwater production systems that fields this deep will need.
