Chevron announced that its operated Big Foot deepwater project, located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, has started crude oil and natural gas production.

The field is located approximately 225 miles (360 km) south of New Orleans, La., in a water depth of approximately 5,200 feet (1,584 m.).

The Big Foot field was discovered in 2006, is estimated to contain total recoverable resources of more than 200 million oil-equivalent barrels and has a projected production life of 35 years.
