Shell adds third major discovery to the Norphlet play in the Gulf of Mexico

Shell has announced its third major discovery in the Norphlet play in Canyon block 525 in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico with the successful Rydberg exploration well. The company is completing the full evaluation of the well results but expects the resource base to be approximately 100mn boe. Together with the Appomattox and Vicksburg discoveries, this brings the total potential Norphlet discoveries to over 700mn boe.
 
This is the first discovery for the partnership of Shell (operator, 57.2%), Ecopetrol (28.5%) and Nexen (14.3%).
