Once the campaign ends in April 2025, the wells in the Longarina Perdido phase are expected to produce up to 22 thousand boed at peak rates.
Shell Offshore Inc., a subsidiary of Shell plc, has released the Final Investment Decision (FID) for a phased campaign to increase oil production at the Great White unit in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GoM). This campaign aims to deliver three wells on the Perdido platform, designed to increase oil production in the region. Upon completion of this campaign in April 2025, these wells are expected to produce up to 22 boed at peak rates. The investment highlights Shell's long-term commitment to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, where oil production is essential to securing an energy supply. reliable and safe.
The Perdido platform, which began production in 2010, is located approximately 320 miles south of Galveston, Texas, in approximately 8.000 feet of water. The phased campaign includes three wells that, combined, are expected to produce up to 22 boed at peak rates, contributing to oil extraction in the region. Perdido's production capacity is 125 thousand boed at peaks. Shell is the leading operator in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and continues to find ways to build on that position by expanding development at Perdido to extract the greatest value from this exceptional resource. The reference to the fact that Shell's production in the US Gulf of Mexico is among the lowest in greenhouse gas intensity in the world is a comparison between other oil and gas producing members of the IOGP.
Oil production: Challenges and Opportunities
Oil production is one of the pillars of the oil industry, involving the extraction of oil from underground reservoirs through oil exploration. This process can be carried out through a phased campaign, like the one carried out in the Perdido stringer field, in Mexico. During this campaign, peak production rates were achieved, demonstrating the production capacity Of region.

However, oil production faces several challenges, including the intensification of environmental regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions. In addition depth of oil wells can impact the economic viability of production.
In the current scenario, it is essential to seek innovative solutions to optimize oil production, aiming to meet the global demand for energy. This includes investing in technologies that reduce greenhouse gas intensities, promoting responsible oil production.
Oil exploration faces challenges, but it also offers opportunities for the development of more efficient and sustainable technologies. With a continued focus on innovation, the oil industry can overcome the challenges of oil production, ensuring a reliable energy supply in the future.
