The pipeline will bring additional capacity to Shell’s Gulf of Mexico footprint and is expected to export 100% of the oil production from bp’s recently sanctioned Kaskida project.
Shell Pipeline Co. LP has made final investment decision (FID) to proceed with the Rome Pipeline, an offshore pipeline construction project to increase access between Shell’s pipeline hub platform and the Fourchon Junction terminal on the Louisiana Gulf Coast.
The pipeline, which will extend about 100 miles in length, will bring additional capacity to Shell’s Gulf of Mexico (GoM) footprint, expanding support for domestic oil production in the GoM, the company said in a release Oct. 3.
Additionally, Shell and BP America Production Co. entered into an agreement for the Rome Pipeline to export 100% of the oil production from bp’s recently sanctioned Kaskida project
