Production
Production delivered by the subsea artificial lift system will equal that obtained by drilling two new wells, according to BP.
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.
