In 2010, Chevron Canada drilled an offshore well that set the record for the deepest water ever drilled in Canada. What is the name and water depth of this well?

• A. Lona 0-55, 2600m
• B. Poseidon 1-23, 1800m
• C. Hibernia 2-11, 2600m
• D. Beaufort 3-7, 1500m

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the record is about how deep the water is where the drilling happened. In 2010, Chevron Canada achieved the deepest water drilled in Canada with the well named Lona 0-55, drilled in about 2,600 meters of water. That water depth—roughly 2.6 kilometers—made it the record holder at the time. Other options mix different well names and shallower depths, so they don’t match the combination that set the Canadian deepwater record.
