In September, Kerr-McGee Corp. installed its sixth spar production facility in the Gulf of Mexico on Green Canyon Block 680. The Constitution spar, moored in 4,970 ft of water, initially will handle production from both the Constitution and Ticonderoga fields. As these fields decline, KerrMcGee expects to tie other potential fields into the facility, in a hub-and-spoke development strategy. Its first five spars process fluids from more than 20 subsea tiebacks. Subsea tiebacks connect new discoveries to existing production facilites, improving the economics of offshore oil and gas production so that marginal fields become profitable assets and existing production facilites have longer lives. Initially, six dry-tree wells will produce the Constituion field while two subsea-completion wells will produce the Ticonderoga field. The company expects first production from the development in mid-2006 and says the spar hull and topsides sustained no damage from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Kerr-McGee holds a 100 % working interest in Ticonderoga. Noble Energy Inc. holds the remaining 50 % working interest in Ticonderoga.
