Tiber Oil Field is operated by BP as of 2008.
 With Tiber joining at least ten other successful Lower Tertiary explorations in the area, analysts viewed the announcement as a sign for optimism, and a harbinger of renewed interest in, and production from, the offshore Gulf of Mexico
 Although BP states it is too early to be sure of the size  a "huge" field is usually considered to contain 250 million barrels (4010^6 m3)
