Deepwater Natural Gas and Oil Qualified Fields - he following table lists the nicknames of qualified deepwater natural gas and oil fields and leases discovered in the Gulf of America. Leases are listed as having discoveries when a well on the lease is qualified as capable of producing under 30 CFR 550.115 or 30 CFR 550.16. These new producible leases are then designated as either a new field or assigned to an existing field. The designated field name is listed for those leases that have qualified as capable of producing by BOEM. This table provides a listing of field nicknames, location (lease, area and block), the water depth and the current operator, field name code, field discovery date, field first production date, lease qualification date, lease first production date, and lease expiration date from field. Please note that the field discovery date is the date that the discovery well reached total depth. (Leases in field water depths over 1,000 feet.)
