Fossil Energy – Whale
Shell announced that production has begun at the Shell-operated Whale floating production facility in the Gulf of Mexico.
Whale replicates the simplified, cost-efficient host design of the Vito platform, which began production in early 2023.
“Whale demonstrates our focus on driving more value with less emissions from our Upstream business as we deliver the energy people need today,” said Zoë Yujnovich, Shell’s Integrated Gas and Upstream Director. “It will significantly contribute to our commitment to bring projects online, with a total peak production of more than 500,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day from 2023 through 2025.”
With an estimated peak production of 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), Whale currently has an estimated recoverable resource volume of 480 million boe.
