BP makes deepwater discoveries offshore Angola, Gulf of Mexico

“The Freedom well is our third discovery in this part of the deepwater Gulf of Mexico following our Tubular Bells and Kodiak discoveries,” said Andy Inglis, BP chief executive, Exploration and Production. “This discovery further strengthens BP’s resource base and portfolio of potential development projects in the Gulf of Mexico. We believe that Freedom straddles Mississippi Canyon Block 948 and Mississippi Canyon Block 992, and we look forward to working with our various partners towards efficient development of these discovered resources.”
