LONDON (Alliance News) - Royal Dutch Shell PLC believes deep-water oil drilling projects are coming back into favour, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
Andy Brown, head of exploration & production at Shell, said the industry was seeing a return towards deep-water work despite the popularity on new US shale projects.
"Deepwater can compete if not demonstrate higher returns because of fundamental cost reduction," he told the newspaper. "Break-even prices in deepwater — we are now talking USD30 per barrel."
He highlighted, the FT said, projects in areas such as Brazil, the Gulf of Mexico, and Shetland in the North Sea as the most attractive.
