Perdido (Spanish for lost) is the deepest floating oil platform in the world at a water depth of about 2,450 meters (8,040 feet) operated by the Shell Oil Company in the Gulf of Mexico. [1] The platform is located in the Perdido fold belt which is a rich discovery of crude oil and natural gas.
The deepest natural gas well is 24,928 feet (7,598 m), in Beckham County, and the deepest producing oil well is 15,500 feet (4,700 m), in Comanche County. [5] Oil drillers active in Oklahoma include Fred M. Manning. [6] The first female oil operator in Oklahoma, and the first woman to drill a producing oil well on her own property, was Lulu M ...

One well at a depth of 2,392 feet (729 m) by People's Light and Heat Company on the Gordon farm north of Washington was the deepest producing oil well in the world. [5] Production levels exploded in 1886; May production levels were from 4,000 barrels per day, rising to 10,120 barrels per day in June, and peaking at 17,549 barrels per day in ...
Mexico's state-owned oil company will delay drilling its deepest-ever well in the Gulf of Mexico while it tests new equipment. Petroleos Mexicanos, known as Pemex, will try out a new exploratory ...
This unit produced from only a single well, from 1975 until it was abandoned in 1977, and was the deepest oil-producing unit ever exploited in California. Oil from this depth was light, with an API gravity of 42, and came up with a temperature of 300 °F (149 °C), along with a reservoir pressure of 8,200 psi.
