Shell Exploration & Production Co. (SEPCo) plans to develop Manatee, a subsea production system located in the Gulf of Mexico in 1,940 feet of water. Manatee will be a two- well development located approximately 160 miles southwest of New Orleans in Green Canyon Block 155. It will tie back five miles to Shell's Angus subsea manifold in Green Canyon 113, which carries production 17 miles to Shell's Bullwinkle platform in Green Canyon 65 for processing.

Manatee is the fourth subsea production system utilizing Bullwinkle as its processing hub. Previous field tiebacks to Bullwinkle include Rocky in 1996, Troika in 1997 and Angus in 1999.
