Shell Starts Production at Silvertip Phase 3 in Gulf of America

Shell has started production at Phase 3 of its Silvertip project in the Gulf of America, bringing additional oil and gas volumes to its operated Perdido spar through two wells expected to deliver combined peak production of up to 6,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).

The wells are located in the Silvertip Frio reservoir, where Shell holds a 40% working interest and serves as operator, alongside Chevron with 60%.

The development involves two wells tied into existing subsea infrastructure, with estimated recoverable resources of 17 million boe, classified as 2P under the Society of Petroleum Engineers' Resource Classification System.

Both the estimated recoverable resources and peak production figures are on a 100% gross basis.
