Shell faces delays on two wells at offshore Perdido development in US Gulf

HOUSTON (Reuters) -Shell, the top U.S. offshore producer, said this week that two of its wells to boost production at the Perdido offshore development were delayed to the end of the year, while one was brought online in March. All three wells, part of Perdido's Great White unit, were originally expected to be online in April and set to produce up to 22,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) at peak rates, expanding output from the platform. Perdido, which began production in 2010, has an output capacity of 125,000 boepd at peak rates.

US oilfield giants brace for tough times as price slide rattles producers

US oilfield giants brace for tough times as price slide rattles producers

(Reuters) -Top U.S. oilfield service firms have signaled a challenging period ahead as a recent slide in oil prices pushes producers to temper their drilling activity and rethink their budgets. Higher output from the OPEC+ grouping and a global tariff war that has raised demand concerns drove crude prices to near $55 a barrel this month, from around $78 just before U.S. President Donald Trump assumed office in January. "With oil prices falling out of the well-defined range that had persisted for much of the past 2+ years, producer budgets are encountering meaningful strain for the first time in several years," said Raymond James analysts.
