Shell’s Newest Norphlet Discovery in Deepwater GOM Expands Inventory Options

摘要

Royal Dutch Shell plc said Thursday it has struck its sixth oil and natural gas find in the Norphlet play in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GOM) after encountering more than 800 net feet of pay at the Dover discovery. The discovery, 100% owned, is about 13 miles from the producer’s Appomattox host and considered an attractive potential tieback, according to Houston-based Shell Offshore Inc. The Appomattox host, now on location, is expected to begin operations before the end of 2019.
