Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Europes largest energy company, gave final approval to an investment in an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
Shell, based in The Hague, said in a PR Newswire statement that the Mars B platform will pump the equivalent of 100,000 barrels of crude a day when it begins output sometime after 2014. The dollar amount of the investment was not disclosed.
Shell owns a 71.5 percent stake in Mars B and will operate the platform, according to the statement. BP Plc of London also owns an interest in the project.
