Shell to begin water injection at Ursa/Princess in 2008

Shell personnel have commenced the Ursa/Princess facilities commissioning process to prepare for the initiation of water injection, projected sometime next year.

The Ursa/Princess waterflood project, located in the Mars-Ursa Basin of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, will improve reservoir performance at the deepwater Ursa and Princess fields. The waterflood topsides injection system will inject filtered and treated water via two separate flowlines to three subsea sites. One will go to an existing well site northwest of Ursa, one to an existing well site southeast of Ursa and one to a new well site northeast of Ursa. Producing wells will include three Princess subsea wells and as many as six Ursa tension leg platform (TLP) wells. J. Ray McDermott's Amelia, La., fabrication yard cut first steel on the modules in October 2006. The modules were completed and ready for offshore installation one year later.
