Shell Offshore Inc announced the start of production at PowerNap, a subsea development in the US Gulf of Mexico with an estimated peak production of 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. PowerNap is a tie-back to the Shell-operated Olympus production hub in the prolific Mars Corridor. Shell discovered PowerNap in 2014. 100% developed by Shell, it is located in the south-central Mississippi Canyon area approximately 240 kilometres (~150 miles) from New Orleans in about 1,280 metres (~4,200 feet) of water. PowerNap is a subsea tie-back to the Shell operated Olympus TLP, with three production wells produced through a single insulated 19-mile flowline and high-pressure gas lift capability. Shell operates Olympus with a 71.5% working interest, with BP controlling the remaining 28.5%. PowerNap production will be transported to market on the Mars pipeline, which is operated by Shell Pipeline Company LP and co-owned by Shell Midstream Partners, L.P. (71.5%) and BP Midstream Partners LP (28.5%). PowerNap is expected to produce up to 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) at peak rates.
