Field/project development
Thanks to stepout-well and tieback technologies, Shell’s Mars platform is the first single offshore platform in the US Gulf to produce 1 billion bbl of crude over its lifetime with production expected to continue into the 2040s.
BP said it expects to keep the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) project in production into the 2040s by tapping into separate nonassociated gas reservoirs.
INEOS Energy and Shell have partnered to invest in Gulf of Mexico exploration, while Eni reported strong productivity from its Geliga 1 discovery in Indonesia. Santos is advancing its Agogo project in Papua New Guinea, and ConocoPhillips received approval to redevelop several previously producing oil fields in Norway’s Greater Ekofisk Area.
