LONDON (MarketWatch) — Chevron Corp. said a production team it leads made the deepest successful well test in the Gulf of Mexico, potentially unearthing a reservoir of oil that could make it the top domestic source.
Chevron said Tuesday that it successfully drilled at the Jack #2 well at Walker Ridge Block 758 to a total depth of 28,175 feet, with more than 20,000 feet of that below the sea floor.
The well, 270 miles southwest of New Orleans, sustained a flow rate of more than 6,000 barrels of crude oil per day, the company said.
Chevron and its co-owners plan to drill an additional appraisal well in 2007.
Chevron owns half of the well, while Devon Energy and Statoil each own 25%.
According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, the timing of which coincided with Chevron’s announcement, the companies estimate that the recent discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico’s lower-tertiary formations — which include more than the Jack #2 well — hold between 3 billion and as much as 15 billion barrels worth of oil and gas reserves.
At 15 billion barrels, it would boost the nation’s current reserves of 29.3 billion barrels by 50%, the report said.
If the Gulf of Mexico is as fertile as that estimate, companies that could benefit include Anadarko Petroleum , Petroleo Brasiliero, Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
