I'd like to include the following, but the data (especially reserves sizes) is very unclear from sources. FT2 ( Talk | email) 16:26, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Tiber is most commonly compared to two other Gulf wells, both also developed by BP: Thunder Horse (in production), and Kaskida (under appraisal):
Field | Location | Ownership | Reserves | Production | First drilled |
Announced | First oil | Platform type |
Water depth | Initial well depth |
Formation |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Thunder Horse | Mississippi canyon block 778 and later, block 822 |
75%
BP, 25% ExxonMobil |
1 billion barrels (recoverable) |
300,000 barrels/day 200 million cu.ft gas |
1999 | July 15, 1999 | June 14, 2008 (delayed from expected 2005) |
Semi-submersible | 6,300 ft (1,920 m) |
- | - |
Kaskida | Keathley Canyon block 292 | 70% BP, 30% Devon Energy | est. 3 billion barrels (total) |
Under appraisal/ Not commenced |

Tiber | Keathley Canyon block 102 |
BP 62%, Petrobras 20%, ConocoPhillips 18% |

There should probably be some mention on this page about the disaster. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TeigeRyan ( talk • contribs) 06:30, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Note no suitable free image of the well or the drilling rig exists at the moment. The only free image of the rig or well is the rig in flames, which is suitable for articles on the rig and the explosion but not really balanced as an image for its previous (and uneventful) wells.
