壳牌海洋工程公司宣布，多佛油田开始生产，这是该公司第二条海底回接管道，将新井与壳牌运营的美国墨西哥湾阿波马托克斯生产中心连接起来。

多佛开发项目是阿波马托克斯资产的海底回接项目，通过 17.5 英里的流水线和立管最多可生产两口井。

壳牌表示，多佛油田于 2018 年首次被发现，预计日峰值产量为 20,000 桶油当量 (boe)。

多佛油田位于密西西比峡谷，距路易斯安那州新奥尔良东南约 170 英里，水深约 7,500 英尺。

目前估计，多佛将拥有 4450 万桶油当量的可采资源量。根据石油工程师协会的资源分类系统，资源量估计目前被归类为 2P。

壳牌美洲湾执行副总裁科莱特·赫斯蒂斯 (Colette Hirstius) 表示：“壳牌继续从我们投资组合中丰富的盆地中释放出更多价值。这是我们在实施创造更多价值、减少排放的战略的同时，最大限度提高深水枢纽产量的又一例证。来自美洲湾的高利润、低碳油对我们现在和未来的能源系统都至关重要。”

Shell Offshore Inc. has reported the start of production at Dover, its second subsea tieback connecting new wells to the Shell-operated Appomattox production hub in the US Gulf of Mexico.

The Dover development is a subsea tieback to the Appomattox asset with up to two production wells produced through a 17.5-mile flowline and riser.

First discovered in 2018, Shell says that the Dover field brings an estimated peak production of 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day.

The Dover field is located within Mississippi Canyon, approximately 170 miles offshore southeast of New Orleans, Louisiana, in about 7,500 ft of water.

Current estimates are that Dover will contain 44.5 MMboe recoverable resources. The estimate of resource volumes is currently classified as 2P under the Society of Petroleum Engineers' Resource Classification System.

“Shell continues to unlock more value from the prolific basins in our portfolio,” said Colette Hirstius, Shell's executive vice president, Gulf of America. “Dover is another example of the ways in which we maximize the production of our deepwater hubs as we deliver on our strategy to create more value with less emissions. The high-margin, lower-carbon barrels from the Gulf of America are essential to our energy system, both now and in the future.”
