PR Newswire (US)
HOUSTON, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Noble Energy, Inc.
(NYSE:NBL) today announced initial results from its Raton appraisal
well (Mississippi Canyon Block 292 #5) in the Gulf of Mexico. This
well was drilled to appraise the deep section below the Raton gas
discovery (Mississippi Canyon 248 #1) announced in June 2006. The
Raton appraisal well encountered hydrocarbons in the anticipated
sand intervals and has been temporarily abandoned. Additional
technical work is needed to evaluate future options. The well is
located in 3,400 feet of water and reached a total measured depth
of 20,913 feet. Noble Energy is currently planning a fast-track
subsea development of a natural gas interval discovered in the
original Raton well. Production from this zone is expected to
commence during the first half of 2008. Noble Energy is the
operator of the Raton project with a 50 percent working interest.
Samson Offshore and Energy Partners, Ltd. (NYSE:EPL) each have a 25
percent working interest. Noble Energy is one of the nation's
