The Delta House FPS is designed to handle peak daily production of 100,000 barrels of oil and 240 million cubic feet of natural gas.
LLOG Exploration president and CEO Scott Gutterman said: "First production at Delta House marks a significant milestone for LLOG.
"Not only do we expect to double our production when all of the wells come online this year, but we are proud to achieve a cycle time of about three years from first discovery to first production for an FPS development project which is among the best in the Gulf of Mexico.
