New Shell discovery in GoM

Shell Offshore Inc. announced May 24 it had made a large, deepwater exploration discovery in the Norphlet geologic play in the Gulf of Mexico with its Dover well. The discovery is Shell’s sixth in the Norphlet and encountered more than 800 net feet of pay. The site is located about 13 miles from the Appomattox host, and is considered a potential tieback. Shell’s Appomattox host has now arrived on location in the GoM and is expected to start production before the end of 2019. (Source: Work Boat 05/26/18)
