The Ballymore project will involve the drilling of three production wells, which are planned to be tied back to the existing Chevron-operated Blind Faith platform through a 4.8km long flowline.
Through its subsidiary Chevron U.S.A., Chevron owns an operatorship stake of 60% in the Ballymore project while TotalEnergies holds the remaining 40% stake.
