Pushing the Limits of Technology

The Tahiti Platform, U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

The Tahiti Field is one of the largest discoveries to date in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Like the Blind Faith Field, it represents record-breaking achievements by pushing the limits of technology at previously untapped depths and in extremely high-temperature, high-pressure environments. The nearly completed production facilities, shown here, sit in approximately 4,100 feet (1,250 meters) of water. Tahiti is expected to come onstream in mid-2009 with a daily production capacity of 125,000 barrels of crude oil and 70 million cubic feet of natural gas.
