A Dutch offshore services company will provide a floating production platform for Royal Dutch Shell’s Stones field project in the Gulf of Mexico, which the companies say will be the deepest-water field served by such a vessel.
Shell will lease the Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel from SBM Offshore for development of its Stones field, which is in 9,500 of water and approximately 200 miles offshore.
