=== Summary Information ===
* Operator: Shell
* Country: USA
* Location: Mississippi Canyon Block 392, Gulf of Mexico
* Production start:
* Partners: Shell - 80%, Nexen - 20%
* Type: Oil / Gas
* Estimated Reserves:
* Production Volume: Peak production est. 175,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day

=== Description ===
* The Appomattox development will initially produce from the **Appomattox** and **Vicksburg** fields
* The Appomattox development host will consist of a semi-submersible, four-column production host platform, a subsea system featuring six drill centres, 15 producing wells, and five water injection wells.
* The Mattox Pipeline which is to be constructed, is a 24-inch corridor pipeline that will transport crude oil from the Appomattox host to an existing offshore structure
* Peak production estimated to reach approximately 175,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day
* The nearby discoveries at the Gettysburg and Rydberg prospects could be developed via tiebacks

=== Contractors ===
* **FMC Technologies:** Enhanced Vertical Deepwater Trees, subsea manifolds, topside controls, a control system, and a distribution system
* **Oceaneering:** Electro-hydraulic steel tube control umbilicals, totaling approximately 60 kilometers (37 miles)

=== History ===
* 2010 - Appomattox Oil Field discovered
* 2012 - Further reserves discovered in the Northern section of the field
* 2013 - Vicksburg oil field discovered
* 2015 - Final investment decision taken

=== Geology ===
* The Appomattox structure is comprised of three large fault blocks in the Norphlet formation, which dates back 150-200 million years ago to the Jurassic period
