Transocean's Deepwater Titan — the first drillship ever rated for 20,000-psi operations — begins drilling in the Gulf of Mexico ahead of moving onto the Anchor field.
With the hull moored at Ingleside, Texas, crews complete topsides and living-quarters integration and move into systems commissioning.
The completed semi-submersible hull, built in South Korea, completes a two-month-plus tow to the Gulf and is moored for topsides integration.
South Korea-based engineering teams relocate to Houston as the project continues through the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chevron sanctions Stage 1: a seven-well subsea development and semi-submersible FPU, at a cost of $5.7 billion — the industry's first deepwater 20K project to reach FID.
The field is discovered in the Green Canyon Protraction Area, roughly 140 miles off the Louisiana coast, in over 1,500 m of water.
