11 Dec bp starts up seventh major project of 2025

Atlantis Drill Center 1 expansion in US Gulf of America supports bp’s strategy to grow the upstream business.

London, December 11, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) ––bp successfully delivered first oil from the Atlantis Drill Center 1 expansion project in the US Gulf of America, its seventh upstream major project startup of the year.

The project is expected to add 15,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) gross peak annualized average production at the existing Atlantis platform. Atlantis, one of bp’s longest-running platforms in the Gulf of America, has a gross production capacity of up to 200,000 barrels of oil per day.

The Atlantis Drill Center 1 expansion adds two wells to an existing drill center, a subsea hub connecting multiple wells. The subsea tieback, which connects new wells to existing offshore production facilities through pipelines, extends the footprint of the Atlantis field discovered in 1998.

bp delivered the Atlantis Drill Center 1 expansion project two months ahead of its original schedule by utilizing existing subsea inventory, drilling and completing wells more efficiently, and streamlining offshore execution planning. This is bp’s fifth major startup that has been delivered ahead of schedule this year.
