Royal Dutch Shell has started up production at the Shell-operated Appomattox floating production system months ahead of schedule, opening a new frontier in the deep-water US Gulf of Mexico.

Appomattox, which currently has an expected production of 175,000 BOEPD, is the first commercial discovery now brought into production in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico Norphlet formation.

Andy Brown, Upstream Director, Royal Dutch Shell, said: “That Appomattox was safely brought online ahead of schedule and far under budget is a testament to our ongoing commitment to drive down costs through efficiency improvements during execution. Appomattox creates a core long-term hub for Shell in the Norphlet through which we can tie back several already discovered fields as well as future discoveries.”
