World's deepest FPSO

Unread post by escveritas »

FPSO Turritella is currently the world's deepest offshore platform (FPSO) working on Stones oilfield, in the US Gulf of Mexico for Shell.



Stones is currently the world’s deepest oil and gas project, operating in around 2,900 metres (9,500 feet) of water in an ultra-deep area of the US Gulf of Mexico. The project started production in September 2016 from a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) facility called Turritella.

The FPSO connects to subsea infrastructure which produces oil and gas from reservoirs nearly 30,000 feet below sea level. Stones is Shell’s second producing field in the Lower Tertiary geologic frontier in the Gulf of Mexico, following Perdido in 2010.

Shell has more than a dozen deep-water FPSOs around the world but Turritella is the first FPSO in use in the Gulf of Mexico.
