I forlængelse af den seneste nyhed om, at Royal Dutch Shell, en af de førende producenter af smøremidler i verden, planlægger at fokusere meget af sin indsats i mexicansk territorialfarvand, en af dets ledere har hjulpet med at skitsere planerne.
At fortælle verden, at han er meget begejstret for det potentiale, som investering i de mexicanske farvande tilbyder Gulf i Mexico diskuterede Marvin Odum, opstrøms Americas-direktør for organisationen, følgende nøglemål:
Shell waters run deep
Ahead of anything else, Odum said Shell is interested in the deep waters comprising the Mexican territorial waters.
Trion-feltet
This oil field is one such area that the company is keen to exploit. At a depth of 8,333 feet (2,540 metres), it is located around 25 miles from the sea border with the USA. It is estimated to hold around ten billion barrels of recoverable oil and is likely to be the first target area for a Shell project.
Exploratus-feltet
Dette er også i Perdido Fold Belt, ligesom Trion.
Mexicansk stå op
Succesen med projektet vil være i partnerskab med det mexicanske firma Pemex.
Eksisterende infrastruktur
Shell will hope to exploit its existing logistics and hardware resources, including its US pipe and platform network. This would help the firm to optimise the extraction of reserves.
Andre strukturer, der allerede er i området til dets amerikanske territoriale feltoperationer, kunne også bruges.
Shell is the number one producer of oil and gas derivatives from deep water in the territorial waters of the US in the Gulf of Mexico. At present, its production rate is around 400,000 barrels per day, with the crude going on to produce all manner of fuel and lubricants.
I mexicansk territorialfarvand er råolieproduktionen faktisk faldet tilbage i de sidste ti år, noget som landet er opsat på at vende.
