4,200 wells tracked on MineralSearch
Shell is a major operator in the Gulf of Mexico and maintains legacy onshore Texas positions. The company operates approximately 4,200 wells in Texas and the GOM combined, with current activity focused on deepwater GOM developments including the Perdido, Stones, and Appomattox platforms. Shell's Gulf of Mexico operations represent some of the most technically advanced deepwater developments in the world. The Perdido platform operating in over 8,000 feet of water held the record for the deepest floating production facility. Shell divested most of its Permian Basin acreage in 2021-2022, but legacy Shell leases and assignments remain in the chain of title across many Permian Basin counties. Landmen researching title history may encounter Shell Oil Company, Shell Western E&P, or Aera Energy in the chain. MineralSearch tracks Shell's GOM operations through BOEM/BSEE data.
Shell continues to invest in its Gulf of Mexico deepwater portfolio with ongoing development drilling at Perdido and Appomattox. The company has been active in recent GOM lease sales for new exploration opportunities.
