The semi-submersible platform will ultimately increase BP’s gross operating production in the Gulf of Mexico by an estimated 20%. bp expects to safely and consistently increase production at Argos through 2023.
Argos is bp’s most advanced digital platform, operating in the Gulf of Mexico, and features bp’s proprietary LoSal® Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and Dynamic Digital Twin technologies. Argos has an injection capacity of more than 140,000 barrels per day of low salinity water to help increase oil recovery in the Mad Dog field.
