These wells, located in the Silvertip Frio reservoir (Shell – 40%, operator; Chevron U.S.A. 60%), are expected to collectively produce up to 6,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) at peak rates.
"By adding new production through existing Perdido infrastructure, we can safely deliver more value and optimize the life of a world-class asset," said Colette Hirstius, Shell's Executive Vice President for GoA and Shell USA President.
