Shell Expands Leading Position in the Norphlet with Rydberg

Shell Offshore Inc. (Shell), a subsidiary of Shell plc announced the start of production at Rydberg, a subsea tie-back to the Shell-operated Appomattox production hub in the Gulf of Mexico with an estimated peak production of 16,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).

“Rydberg will further boost production in the Norphlet Corridor at Appomattox, which is consistently one of our highest producing assets,” said Rich Howe, Shell Deep Water Executive Vice President. “As we meet the energy demands of today and the future, we will continue to mature the best opportunities for growth in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Shell is the leading deep-water operator in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, where our production has among the lowest greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity in the world for producing oil.

Subsea Processing Systems Transforming Reservoirs

The deployment of subsea processing systems is revolutionizing maritime energy production by moving complex extraction and treatment functions to the seafloor. By integrating subsea boosting and separation technologies, operators can achieve superior offshore reservoir optimization, enabling longer tieback distances and significantly increasing recovery rates from deepwater fields.
