Shell makes large deep-water discovery In Gulf Of Mexico




Shell Offshore Inc (Shell) announced a large, deep-water, exploration discovery in the Norphlet geologic play in the US Gulf of Mexico with its Dover well (100 percent Shell).
The Dover discovery is Shell's sixth in the Norphlet and encountered more than 800 net feet of pay (244 meters). The discovery is located approximately 13 miles from the Appomattox host and is considered an attractive potential tieback.
Shell's Appomattox host has now arrived on location in the US Gulf of Mexico and is expected to start production before the end of 2019.
The well was drilled in Mississippi Canyon Block 612, located approximately 170 miles (273 kilometres) offshore southeast of New Orleans, in a water depth of 7,500 feet (2,280 meters) to a total vertical drilling depth of 29,000 feet (6,780 meters) measured depth.
