Take a look inside some of our major projects to see how human ingenuity pushes technical boundaries to safely and efficiently deliver energy, helping to meet rising global demand.
In June 2018 Prelude introduced gas onboard. This means equipment aboard the floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility can now switch to run on gas rather than diesel. Once fully operational, Prelude FLNG will deliver LNG to Shell’s customers around the world.
In May 2018 Shell’s Appomattox platform left Ingleside, Texas, USA for its final location in the Gulf of Mexico. The project is on track for first oil by the end of the decade. Average peak production is estimated to reach approximately 175,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
In April 2018 Shell took the final investment decision to develop the Vito deep-water project in the US Gulf of Mexico. Vito will be Shell’s 11th deep-water project in the area. Average peak production is estimated to reach approximately 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
