    The Holstein Field development utilizes the largest truss spar platform in the world, with facilities for simultaneous production and drilling. The platform can process 110,000 barrels of oil and 150 million cubic feet of gas per day. BP operates the development with a 50% interest alongside partner Shell. Oil and gas are transported via existing pipelines. The reservoirs contain Pliocene sandstones and the truss spar hull was constructed in parts in Finland, Texas, and Louisiana.

    HOLSTEIN FIELD

    Fact Sheet

    Discovered in 1999, the Holstein Field development is designed to utilize the largest
    truss spar platform in the world, equipped with facilities for simultaneous production
    and drilling operations.
    The facility is designed to process 110,000 barrels of oil and 150 million cubic feet of
    gas per day. The facility has implemented the first top tension riser system ever
    employed on a spar.
    BP operates the development (50% interest), with co-venturer Shell owning
    the balance.
    Oil and gas are transported to existing shelf infrastructure via the BPoperated Caesar pipeline (oil) and Cleopatra pipeline (gas) systems.
    Field is developed via truss spar, supported by a network of subsea
    wellheads, production risers and dry trees.
    Reservoirs are Pliocene sandstones.
    Hull was built in two parts in Pori, Finland and Ingleside, Texas and the
    topsides modules were fabricated in Morgan City, Louisiana. The drilling
    rig module was fabricated in Brownsville, Texas.

    Fact Sheet

    BP in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico


    BP began deepwater Gulf of Mexico operations in the mid 1980s. Today, BP produces in excess of 400,000 boe/d
    (barrels of oil equivalent per day) net from nearly two dozen fields, including BP operated facilities at Na Kika,
    Pompano, Marlin, Horn Mountain, Mad Dog, Holstein, Atlantis, and Thunder Horse. BP also operates a number of
    subsea tie-backs in the Gulf.
    BP has the No. 1 position in the Gulf. These claims are based on facts that:
    BP is the largest net leaseholder in the deepwater
    Since 2000, BP has been the most successful explorer, discovering more reserves than our competitors
    BP is the largest producer in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico with long term plans to sustain that position for
    many years to come.
    Execution of our exploration strategy has delivered excellent results, yielding a strong portfolio of large, high
    quality development projects. We have a strong portfolio of quality hub development opportunities under
    evaluation and subsea tieback projects. In addition, BP has the No. 1 lease position in the Paleogene horizon and
    what we believe to be the largest discovery to date (Kaskida).
