NEW ORLEANS — Shell Energy Resources Co. has started production at the world’s deepest offshore drilling and production facility in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Perdido development sits in 8,000 feet of water about 200 miles off the Texas coast.
Shell Energy Resources, a unit of Royal Dutch Shell PLC ( RDSA – news – people ), will use the facility to produce from three offshore fields that could require as many as 35 wells over the life of the fields.
Shell said Wednesday that the development will ramp up to annual peak production of more than 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day – equivalent to the energy needed to fuel 500 cars for 15 years.
The life span of the project is expected to be 20 years.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
