On Monday, $BP spudded the long-awaited Ephesus exploration well in the frontier Orphan Basin off Newfoundland. Once known as 'Cape Freels', the prospect could hold a billion bbl or more and is one of the most closely watched #deepwater wells of the year. https://t.co/ZwgenZyezG

Looks like Exxon picked up where it left off in the last #GOM lease sale and filled in the proverbial checkerboard in the shallows off TX. This is widely assumed to be #CCS acreage - some of the best in the world - tho the leasing mechanism in fed waters still unclear #OOTT #XOM https://t.co/y7fUyc6oYI

EXCLUSIVE: Developers of #CCS in TX are testing the limits of what's allowable under the state's Class II permitting authority while @txrrc tries to address the needs of a nascent sector as it awaits a decision on its Class VI primacy bid with @EPA. https://t.co/hdE9rj82lJ ($)

Chevron owns 60% of the Polyphemus prospect, targeting #Norphlet. Oxy owns the other 40%. $CVX $OXY #OOTT

Private equity giant Carlyle has made what is (maybe?) its first investment in #CCS, through portfolio company Crescent Midstream, which is joining Repsol and Cox to develop a CO2 storage hub in the shallow Gulf of Mexico. More $$$ to come? https://t.co/DDjOs32USk (free) $CG

Shell continues to consolidate and de-risk its growing position in the #GOM Paleogene, specifically in the NW corner of Walker Ridge where PE-backed Beacon will soon own the only nearby production infrastructure. Blackstone formed Beacon in '16, just sayin https://t.co/EktP3XXvJ6

Happy 100th birthday Kurt Vonnegut… so it goes… https://t.co/s5MAEspUU8

Chevron is exiting the Shell-led Leopard #oil discovery in the US Gulf after backing out of the nearby Blacktip find last year. Lots of development $$$ likely needed for the 2 fields, and apparently $CVX sees better opportunities elsewhere. https://t.co/6XMRwuBNmt (free) $SHEL

Classy rebuke to Van Gough, noted oil baron.

Great example of how to set back a movement by making normally sympathetic people think you’re an idiot.

Talos confirmed today it is buying Enven for $1.1bn. Here's @energyintel's deep dive on what it means for $TALO and some of the background for why it makes sense for both companies (pub'd last month after the deal leaked) https://t.co/YDnT8W4okh (free to read) #GOM #oil #offshore

Good luck?

Plans to develop #CCS hubs in Louisiana could get complicated after leaders in Livingston Parish voted to impose a 1-year moratorium on CO2-injection wells. Immediate potential impacts for at least two proposed projects. https://t.co/htTX3u8bkK ($) $OXY $APD

EXCLUSIVE: Shell has taken FID on a 2-well subsea tieback development of its Rydberg find in the #deepwater GOM. The field will connect to the Appomattox hub as the next offshore Norphlet discovery to come on line, with first oil due late 2023. https://t.co/OAXnXmKR7K $SHEL #oil

Helix is making push into the growing P&A market in the US GOM w/ some recent deals to strengthen its offerings. Fieldwood's bankruptcy pushed $billions of liabilities to some top operators, who are eager to them off their books. https://t.co/0vZt88XAd0 $HLX #oil #offshore
