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 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 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 October 2018, Shell, along with four joint venture participants, took a final investment decision to develop LNG Canada, a major liquified natural gas processing facility located in Kitimat, British Columbia.
