Field and context
The Auger field lies in Garden Banks, Gulf of Mexico, producing from Miocene-age turbidite sandstone reservoirs. The development includes multiple faulted and compartmentalized reservoirs typical of deepwater channel systems. It was one of the earliest large-scale deepwater projects, demonstrating commercial viability of TLP technology in high-pressure offshore environments.
