At bp, we’re using proven approaches to safely and efficiently produce more oil and gas from our Gulf of America platforms. One way we do that is with a tieback.
A subsea tieback is an efficient way to connect an existing platform to new wells. Tiebacks let us access oil and gas from our leases and safely produce more oil with existing platforms, while meeting America’s rising energy demand.
In 2025, we’ve used tiebacks at our Argos Southwest Extension project and our Atlantis Drill Center 1 Expansion project.
Additionally, a tieback will connect the Guadalupe field to the Tiber platform, set to deliver first oil in 2030.
