Since 1999 ExxonMobil has drilled 15 ERD wells from Platform heritage into the Sacate Field; the 15th well reaches over five-and-a-half miles (red dash line) and is the longest ERD well in North America.

Plains E&P has announced plans to use ERD from Platform Irene in its Point Pedernales United to develop the T-Ridge prospect in California state waters. The ERD reach is expected to be about four miles, to develop the fractured Monterey Formation.
