Shell Oil to invest $900 mln in Gulf project
HOUSTON, April 8 (Reuters) - Shell Oil Co. said on Thursday it planned to spend $900 million to develop a major deepwater oil and gas discovery in the Gulf of Mexico.

Named for cartoon character Popeye's arch-nemesis, the Brutus field, located 165 miles southwest of New Orleans is thought to contain over 200 million barrels of oil equivalent.

The announcement by the Royal Dutch/Shell group unit is a potent sign of the Gulf of Mexico's vitality, coming less than a month after a lackluster government lease sale for the province.

It also underscores the long-term nature of deepwater oil and gas production.
