Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) said Wednesday that new deep-water production is underway at P-69, a floating production storage and offloading installation in Brazil's Santos Basin.

Shell said the deepwater installation is operated by the Lula consortium, which includes its subsidiary Shell Brasil Petroleo Ltda., Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PBR)--Brazil's semi-public petroleum company--and Galp Energia SGPS S/A (GALP.LB), through its subsidiary Petrogal Brasil.

Operated by Petrobras, P-69 can produce up to 150,000 barrels of oil and 6 million cubic meters of gas each a day.

Shell has a 25% stake in the Lula consortium, while Petrobras and Galp hold 65% and 10% respectively.
