壳牌子公司壳牌离岸公司表示，2月22日，该公司已在里德伯格开始生产，该工厂是其在墨西哥湾运营的阿波马托克斯生产中心的海底回接处。

Rydberg位于墨西哥湾密西西比峡谷525区块区域，预计峰值产量为16,000桶油当量/天。

Rydberg 位于约 7,450 英尺水深，估计拥有 38 MMboe 的可采资源。虽然里德伯格最初于 2014 年被发现，但壳牌直到 2022 年才对该项目做出最终投资决定。

壳牌使用两口生产井开发该油田，这些生产井通过一条通往阿波马托克斯的绝缘 12 英里管线以及动态脐带缆进行生产。

Appomattox 半潜式生产船于 2019 年上线。

“里德伯格将进一步提高阿波马托克斯诺夫莱特走廊的产量，该走廊一直是我们产量最高的资产之一，”壳牌深水执行副总裁 Rich Howe 在一份新闻稿中表示。

壳牌代表拥有 20% 权益的合作伙伴中海油运营包含 Rydberg 发现的租赁区，拥有 80% 权益。

壳牌代表拥有 21% 权益的中海油运营 Appomattox，拥有 79% 权益。

Shell subsidiary Shell Offshore Inc. said Feb. 22 it had started production at Rydberg, a subsea tieback to its operated Appomattox production hub in the Gulf of Mexico.

Rydberg, located in the Mississippi Canyon Block 525 area of the Gulf of Mexico, is expected to produce 16,000 boe/d at peak.

Rydberg is in about 7,450 ft water depth and holds an estimated 38 MMboe of recoverable resources. While Rydberg was originally discovered in 2014, Shell didn’t reach final investment decision on the project until 2022.

Shell developed the field using two production wells that produce through a single insulated 12-mile flowline to Appomattox, along with a dynamic umbilical.

The Appomattox production semisumbersible went online in 2019.

“Rydberg will further boost production in the Norphlet Corridor at Appomattox, which is consistently one of our highest producing assets,” Rich Howe, Shell deep water executive vice president, said in a press release.

Shell operates the leases containing the Rydberg discovery with 80% interest on behalf of partner CNOOC with 20% interest.

Shell operates Appomattox with 79% interest on behalf of CNOOC with 21% interest.
