Shell starts up GoM Stones

摘要

Shell has started production from the Stones field development project in the US Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Stones is expected to produce around 50,000 boe/d when fully ramped up at the end of 2017. "The host facility for the world's deepest offshore oil and gas project is a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel. It is the thirteenth FPSO in Shell's global deepwater portfolio and produces through subsea infrastructure beneath 2,900m (9,5154ft) of water," Shell said. "Stones underscores Shell's long-standing leadership in using FPSOs to safely and responsibly unlock energy resources from deepwater assets around the world."
