HIGHLIGHTS
- Shell is adding to its established deep-water position with new fields in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore South America. Onshore, Shell has built major acreage positions in liquids-rich shales and in tight gas, and is progressing its potential for an integrated gas value chain.
- Production in the Americas amounted to more than 700 thousand boe/d in 2012.
- After-tax earnings from oil and gas exploration and production operations of our subsidiaries and equity-accounted investments in the region were $0.7 billion.
- We are participating in the development of six key projects in North and South America: AOSP Debottlenecking; BC-10 Phase 2; Cardamom; Mars B, West Boreas & South Deimos; North American tight-gas projects; and North American liquids-rich shales projects.
