壳牌海上宣布了第三阶段 Silvertip 项目的最终投资决定 (FID)，该项目将提供两口井，以提高壳牌运营的美国墨西哥湾 Perdido 晶石的产量。

Silvertip 第三阶段的开发概念包括两口与现有海底基础设施相连的油井。预计这些油井在峰值产量下每天可产出高达 6,000 桶油当量 (boe/d)。预计首次生产将于 2026 年进行。

Perdido 是美国墨西哥湾的一个生产柱状油田，位于阿拉米诺斯峡谷内，距离德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿南部约 200 英里，水深约 8,000 英尺。壳牌是 Perdido Regional Host (PRH) 的运营商，拥有 35% 的工作权益 (WI)，雪佛龙拥有 37.5% 的 WI，3C Perdido Holdings 拥有 26.5% 的 WI，BP 拥有 1% 的 WI。

目前，Silvertip 第 3 阶段的可采资源量估计为 1700 万桶油当量。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。

Shell Offshore announced a Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Phase 3 Silvertip project, which will deliver two wells to boost production at the Shell-operated Perdido spar in the US Gulf of Mexico.

The development concept for Phase 3 Silvertip includes two wells tied into existing subsea infrastructure. These wells are expected to collectively produce up to 6,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) at peak rates. First production is expected in 2026.

Perdido is a production spar in the US Gulf of Mexico, located within Alaminos Canyon, approximately 200 mi offshore south of Galveston, Texas in about 8,000 ft of water. Shell is operator of the Perdido Regional Host (PRH) and has 35% working interest (WI), with Chevron holding 37.5% WI, 3C Perdido Holdings 26.5% and BP 1% WI.

Current estimated recoverable resource volumes of Phase 3 Silvertip are 17 million boe. The estimate of resource volumes is currently classified as 2P under the Society of Petroleum Engineers’ Resource Classification System.
