Royal Dutch Shell has launched its first floating oil production,storage and offloading vessel in the Gulf of Mexico. The facility will operate in 9,500 feet of water, making it the deepest of its kind in the world.
The vessel — named Turritella after a genus of sea snails with a long conical, spiraled shell — is part of the company’s multibillion-dollar Stones development about 200 miles southwest of New Orleans in the ultra-deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The facility is expected to start operations in early 2016.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
