壳牌开始在 Alaminos Canyon 773 区块的壳牌运营的 Whale 浮式生产设施进行生产，该设施毗邻壳牌运营的 Silvertip 油田，距离壳牌运营的 Perdido 平台约 10 英里，距离休斯顿以南约 200 英里。

Whale 油田于 2017 年被发现，其特点是水下 8,600 英尺处有一台半潜式生产主机，总共有 15 口井通过海底基础设施与主机相连。利用 Vito 使用的工程和施工技术及其供应链，Whale 在发现后 7.5 年内首次产油。Whale 的峰值产量估计为每天 100,000 桶油当量 (boed)，目前可采资源量估计为 4.8 亿桶油当量。

Whale 号复制了 Vito 号 99% 的船体设计和 80% 的上部结构。它还配备了节能燃气涡轮机和压缩系统，其整个生命周期的温室气体强度比 Vito 号低约 30%。

Whale 开发项目由壳牌（60%，运营商）和雪佛龙（40%）所有。

Shell started production at the Shell-operated Whale floating production facility in the the Alaminos Canyon Block 773, adjacent to the Shell-operated Silvertip field, around 10 mi from the Shell-operated Perdido platform and around 200 mi south of Houston.

Discovered in 2017, the Whale field will feature a semi-submersible production host in more than 8,600 ft of water with a total of 15 wells to be tied back to the host via subsea infrastructure. Leveraging the engineering and construction techniques used for Vito, as well as its supply chain, Whale was able to achieve first oil 7.5 years after discovery. With an estimated peak production of 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed), Whale currently has an estimated recoverable resource volume of 480 million boe.

Whale replicates 99% of the hull design and 80% of the topsides from Vito. It also features energy-efficient gas turbines and compression systems, operating with around 30% lower greenhouse gas intensity over its life cycle than Vito.

The Whale development is owned by Shell (60%, operator) and Chevron (40%).
