Summary Information
- Operator: Shell
- Country: USA
- Location: Alaminos Canyon
- Production start: Expected 2024
- Partners: Chevron
- Type: Oil & Gas

Description
- The Whale production facility is in the Alaminos Canyon Block 773 and is adjacent to the Shell-operated Silvertip field, approximately 10 miles from the Shell-operated Perdido platform and approximately 200 miles southwest of Houston.
- The development will use a four-column semi-submersible host facility, in more than 8,600 feet of water, with 15 oil producing wells. It will be a clone of that in the Vito Oil Field
- Gas will be exported via a 25-mile gas lateral pipeline build from the Whale platform to the existing Perdido gas pipeline and a new 125-mile oil pipeline to the existing Williams-owned GA-A244 junction platform. The natural gas will be transported to Williams’ Markham gas processing plant located in Matagorda, TX.
