據NS Energy3月30日報道，該深水油田發現于2014年，100%由殼牌公司運營，通過與奧林巴斯(Olympus)火星走廊生產中心的連接進行開發；該油田的最高產量預估達到2萬桶/天

殼牌表示，其子公司殼牌海上公司已經開始在美國墨西哥灣深水區的PowerNap油田生產。

該油田的開發是通過與殼牌運營的奧林巴斯火星走廊生產中心的連接進行的。它有3口生產井，通過一條30.5公里長的絕緣管線和高壓氣舉能力進行生產。

據估計，PowerNap的最高產量為2萬桶油當量/天。

殼牌上游主管Zoe Yujnovich表示:“殼牌已經在火星走廊生產中心進行了超過25年的生產，我們將繼續尋找在那里開發更多原油的方法。

PowerNap加強了上游的核心地位，這對實現我們的驅動發展戰略至關重要，并確保我們能夠提供當今和未來世界所需的穩定、安全的能源資源。”

該深水油田是殼牌在2014年發現的。該油田100%由殼牌開發，位于密西西比峽谷地區中南部，距離新奧爾良近240公里，水深約4200英尺。

殼牌在2019年8月做出了開發PowerNap油田的最終投資決定(FID)，目標是在2021年底開始生產。在進行最終投資決定測試時，估計該油田有超過8500萬桶石油當量的可采資源。

該公司已聘請TechnipFMC來執行海底開發的工程、采購、施工和安裝。

根據合同，TechnipFMC為三口生產井提供水下硬件，如水下采油樹系統、上部控制系統、水下配電控制系統、飛行導線和連接器。

該油田生產的碳氫化合物將通過Mars管道輸送到市場，該管道由殼牌管道運營，由殼牌和其物流合作伙伴bp共同擁有，其中殼牌占股71.5%，bp占股28.5%。

Shell begins production from PowerNap field in US Gulf of Mexico

Discovered in 2014, the deep-water field has been 100% developed by Shell through a tie-back to the company-operated Olympus production hub in the Mars Corridor; the field has an estimated peak production of 20,000boe/d

Shell said that its subsidiary Shell Offshore has started production from the PowerNap field in the deep water of the US Gulf of Mexico.

The field has been developed through a tie-back to the Shell-operated Olympus production hub in the Mars Corridor. It has three production wells, which produce via a single insulated 30.5km flowline and high-pressure gas lift capability.

PowerNap has an estimated peak production of 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).

Shell upstream director Zoe Yujnovich said: “Shell has been producing in the Mars Corridor for more than 25 years, and we continue to find ways to unlock even more value there.

“PowerNap strengthens a core Upstream position that is critical to achieving our Powering Progress strategy and ensuring we can supply the stable, secure energy resources the world needs today and in the future.”

The deep-water field was discovered by Shell in 2014. Developed 100% by the company, the field is located in the south-central Mississippi Canyon area, nearly 240km off New Orleans in a water depth of around 4,200ft.

Shell took the final investment decision (FID) on developing the PowerNap field in August 2019 with a target to begin production in late 2021. At the time of taking the FID, the field was estimated to contain over 85 million barrels of oil equivalent recoverable resources.

The company had engaged TechnipFMC for executing the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of the subsea development.

Under the contract, TechnipFMC provided subsea hardware such as subsea tree systems, topside controls, subsea distribution controls, flying leads, and connectors for the three production wells.

The hydrocarbons produced from the field will be sent to market on the Mars pipeline, operated by Shell Pipeline and co-owned by Shell Midstream Partners (71.5%) and BP Midstream Partners (28.5%).
