Shell to sell Brutus and Glider fields
Baku, August 30, AZERTAC
Shell Offshore Inc. has agreed to sell the whole of record title interest in the Brutus/Glider assets in the Gulf of Mexico to EnVen Energy Corp.'s EnVen Energy Ventures, LLC.
The Brutus/Glider assets include the Brutus tension leg platform (TLP), the Glider subsea production system, and the oil and gas lateral pipelines used to evacuate the production from the TLP. The Brutus/Glider assets have a combined current production estimate of 25,000 boe/d.
In line with Shell's global divestment plans, this transaction includes $425 million in cash.
Expected to close in October, the deal covers Green Canyon blocks 114, 158, 202, and 248. However, a representative from Shell told Offshore it has also reserved deep operating rights in Green Canyon blocks 114, 158, and 202.
Shell currently produces around 600,000 boe/d and plans to increase production to more than 900,000 boe/d by the early 2020s from already discovered, established reservoirs.
