(Updates with details)
Oct 4 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell on Monday said
it has restarted production at its Olympus platform in the Mars
Corridor in the Gulf of Mexico following repairs to portion of
its West Delta 143 offshore facility in the aftermath of
Hurricane Ida.
The remaining assets in that corridor, Mars and Ursa, remain
shut in, while other Gulf of Mexico assets - Appomattox,
Enchilada/Salsa, Auger, Perdido and Stones - are all producing,
the company said.
Shell, the largest U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil producer, was the
hardest-hit producer from Ida, which tore through the Gulf in
August and removed 28 million barrels of oil from the market.
Shell's West Delta 143 offshore facility, carries oil and
gas from three major fields for processing at onshore terminals.
The company also noted that utility services has been
restored at its Norco Manufacturing Complex in Louisiana, which
hosts a 230,611 barrel-per-day refinery. (https://bit.ly/2Yo9UUq)
Last month, Shell warned that damage to its offshore
transfer facilities from Ida will cut production into early next
year.
