NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Chevron Corp. said Tuesday it successfully completed what it called "a record setting production test" on the Jack No. 2 well at Walker Ridge Block 758 in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico....During the test, the well sustained a flow rate of more than 6,000 barrels of crude oil per day, Chevron said.... Chevron is the operator of the Jack prospect with a 50 percent working interest. Devon Energy and Statoil each own a 25 percent working interest... It is 270 miles southwest of New Orleans and 175 miles offshore... in 7,000 feet of water, and more than 20,000 feet under the sea floor, breaking Chevron's 2004 Tahiti well test record as the deepest successful well test in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Jack No. 2 well was drilled to a total depth of 28,175 feet.

More than half a dozen world records for test equipment pressure, depth, and duration in deepwater were set during the Jack well test, Chevron said
