Danos said June 14 that Shell Exploration and Production Co., a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS.A), has awarded a contract to Danos to provide coatings for Shell’s deepwater Appomattox platform in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM).
The coatings project is expected to last approximately six months.
“Danos has a history of high performance with Shell that goes back nearly 50 years,” Danos owner, Mark Danos, said. “We believe our relationship with Shell and our shared commitment to safe, competitive delivery resulted in this contract, and we look forward to continuing to partner with Shell.”
This is not Danos’ first experience with the Appomattox project. Danos fabricated three boarding valve skids and one service line skid out of its Amelia facility for Appomattox, which required support from the company’s project management, fabrication, coatings and automation service lines.
Located in the GoM 80 miles (128 km) off the coast of Louisiana, the Appomattox platform is one of Shell’s new deepwater investments in the GoM and is set to begin production before the end of the decade. Projects like this are essential to the economy of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast as they provide much needed jobs to the area and contribute to domestic energy security.
