Oil production in the US Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is poised to set new records in the imminent future, according to Rystad Energy.

Thanks to an impressive sprint, Royal Dutch Shell has started producing oil and gas at its Appomattox deepwater platform in GoM several months ahead of its expected startup in the third quarter of 2019.

“With earlier than planned production, Appomattox will be a key growth contributor to help push US Gulf of Mexico oil production toward a new record high before year-end,” says Joachim Milling Gregersen, Analyst on Rystad Energy’s Upstream team.
