History

The company was founded in 2012 by Timothy Duncan with a $600-million equity raise from Apollo Global Management and Riverstone Holdings.[2] The company is based in Houston, Texas.

In July 2017, Talos Energy, Premier Oil, and Sierra Oil & Gas announced that exploratory drilling in the Zama-1 field, located in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, had uncovered a formation with between 1.4 billion and two billion barrels of light crude oil. Because not all oil present is such a formation is technically recovered, it is believed that the formation could yield about 425 million barrels.[3]

In May 2018 Talos Energy Inc.("Talos") completed merger with Stone Energy Corporation (NYSE: SGY) ("Stone") and became Talos Energy, Inc. The new company trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the new ticker symbol "TALO" [4].

In December 2018 Talos Energy started Zama discovery appraisal program, which will consist of three reservoir penetrations. The Zama-2 appraisal well is the first appraisal penetrations drilled to better define the resource potential of the Zama discovery. It was drilled in a down-dip location approximately 1.3 miles (2.1 kilometers) to the north of the Zama-1 discovery well to confirm the geological model and define the oil-water contact [5].

In June 2020, Talos Energy announced the bolt-on acquisition of assets from affiliates of Castex Energy 2005[6].

Talos also maintains operations on the U.S. Gulf of Mexico Shelf. In Mexico, Talos is active in Blocks 7, 2, and 31, with Block 7 containing its globally recognized Zama discovery.

gollark: No, I mean I think M.2 slots can only deliver up about 15W or so max power, so you couldn't use more than that.
gollark: Also it would have to run on 15W.
gollark: I don't see why you would want it? They couldn't really be extra cores which seem like they're on the same CPU. They would, as I said, have to be an effectively independent computer with some kind of high-bandwidth link to the main one.
gollark: That would also be very impractical, unless you make the "extra cores" basically a small independent computer with its own RAM and stuff.
gollark: Connect PCIe devices, mostly, which you can do now.
