BP has announced the early startup of its Atlantis Drill Center 1 expansion project, completing it two months ahead of its original timeline. This success is attributed to optimized drilling, efficient well completions, and streamlined offshore execution planning, leveraging existing subsea infrastructure.
This early delivery marks BP's fifth major project startup completed ahead of schedule in 2025. The expansion is a key component of BP's strategic plan to enhance its production capabilities in the US Gulf of America, targeting a capacity of over 400,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2030.
Further projects, including the Argos Southwest Extension and the Atlantis Major Facility Expansion, are planned to bolster production in the coming years. BP's global project pipeline includes ten major startups by 2027, with recent successes also in Trinidad and Tobago, the UK North Sea, Egypt, and West Africa.
