Offshore Platforms

Two Platforms, Houchin and Hogan, with 60 and 66 slots, are located in Federal waters just outside the 3-mile state limit. A total of 72 active and inactive wells are currently located on the platforms, with artificial lift being the mode of operation. Artificial equipment includes Sucker Rod Pumps, Progressive Cavity Pumps (PCP), Electric Submersible Progressive Cavity Pumps (ESPCP), and Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP).


The platforms also contain vessels for primary separation of gas from the liquids, test metering equipment, gas compressors and positive displacement pumps for fluid delivery to shore, flare stacks, Fire water and safety equipment, electric service control rooms, etc. Platform Houchin is equipped with a 2MW CAT diesel powered Emergency Generator which is capable of satisfying 100% of the combined electrical operating demand of both platforms Hogan and Houchin. A contract well servicing rig exists on each platform capable to repair wells as needed.
