Blind Faith project, located in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. In July Chevron purchased an additional 12.5% working interest in this project, bringing our total interest up to a 75% share. The top sides have been lifted onto the hole and all three development wells have been drilled. Positive results from the development drilling supports the future drilling of a fourth well by 2009.
Off shore installation and well completions are scheduled to commence in November of this year, with first production expected by the second quarter of 2008. Blind Faith has a production capacity of 45,000 barrels of oil per day and 45 million cubic feet of gas per day.
