Marathon Oil Corp. reported a discovery on the Flying Dutchman prospect on Green Canyon Block 511 in the Gulf of Mexico about 100 miles south of New Orleans.
The well, drilled in 3,700 ft of water, reached 30,000 ft TD. It encountered 100 ft of net hydrocarbon-bearing sands in an Upper Miocene reservoir. A Marathon spokeswoman declined to elaborate on the type of hydrocarbons.
The results of Flying Dutchman will be evaluated along with additional potential drilling on GC Block 511 to determine overall commerciality.
