Dynamic ships out Shell modules

NEW IBERIA, La. Modules fabricated in New Iberia for Shell Oil’s largest project to date recently sailed off from the Port of New Iberia. Over the past two years, Dynamic Industries has employed between 200-400 workers for the project, according to NI port executive director Craig Romero. They have been building modules to be attached to larger hulls being built in South Korea, and will then be stationed 80 miles off Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico, at Shell Oil’s Appomattox project. The Appomattox project cost about $17M. Once on the barge, the modules began the journey to Ingleside, Texas, where they’ll be connected to their counterparts from South Korea. Within a year, said Romero, they’ll be towed to the production facility in the GoM. Shell’s 2,255-metres-deep wells should have their first oil by the end of the decade.

There are two U.S.-based fabrication facilities in New Iberia and Lake Charles, La.
