Shell Oil Co. is taking a courageous step into the deep-water frontier with development of the $1.2 billion "Auger" project. After almost four years of construction. Shell Offshore has set up the Auger tension leg platform (TLP) on Garden Banks Block 426, located in the Gulf of Mexico 214 miles southwest of New Orleans in 2,860 feet of water-a depth that surpasses the previous Gulf record by more than 1,000 feet.
