THE CONSTITUTION SPAR: Surpassing Milestones

Meeting Three Major Milestones

  • 100 million barrels of cumulative oil production at the Constitution Spar
  • 65,717 barrels of oil per day record daily production at the Spar
  • 60,429 barrels of oil per day record daily production from Caesar/Tonga field

“While the Constitution and Ticonderoga fields provided that dependable production base in the Gulf for about the first six years, the Caesar/Tonga development really became the catalyst that helped catapult our oil production over the 100 MMBO mark. Congratulations to the hundreds of employees who played a role in these three fields and the Spar’s success.”

Byron McDonald, General Manager

"We completed fabrication and performed installation for Constitution in the summer when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf. The entire Constitution team really excelled during that time as they worked to take care of colleagues and family in need as a result of the storms, and the team applied their dedication, skill and ingenuity to complete the installation and commissioning during this challenging period."

Mike Beattie, Director, International / Deepwater Project Management

“Constitution reflects the attitude of flexibility and teamwork associated with APC’s GOM operations group. From construction to well stimulations, the activity level on the platform has been high for many years, and the offshore crews always adapt and find a way to operate safely and efficiently."

Rob Brown, Offshore Operations Superintendent

“I have had the opportunity to work this project from the beginning and have watched it transform and grow from the original Constitution Spar concept of 40,000 bbls/day, to 70,000 bbls/day and include the Ticonderoga field. The original hub-and-spoke concept has also become a reality and now includes production from Caesar/Tonga via subsea wells and flow lines. Many new technologies have been developed and deployed through the years with the help of many fine people, of all disciplines, working together. Congratulations Constitution Spar, on your first 100 million barrels, and we look forward to 100 million more.”

Carlos Morris, Project Geophysical Advisor
