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

Shell, the top US 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.
