Shell has awarded Audubon Companies an exclusive engineering and procurement contract for brownfield topside projects across its deepwater assets in the U.S. Gulf.
Announced on 8 May 2026, the agreement covers offshore projects with total installed costs of up to $100 million. The work will focus on operations support, maintenance, and upgrades intended to sustain production and extend the service life of existing offshore facilities.
The award expands the relationship between Shell and Audubon. Since 2022, Audubon has carried out engineering work on several deepwater platforms in the Gulf.
Audubon said the contract makes the company a portfolio-wide engineering and procurement provider for Shell’s offshore brownfield activities in the region.
David Robison, CEO of Audubon, said the award reflects the trust built through project performance and highlights the company’s ability to execute work safely and consistently over time.
He added that Audubon’s offshore experience supports operations in demanding deepwater environments.
Brownfield offshore projects are gaining importance as operators seek to maintain production from existing infrastructure, control capital spending, and extend field life in mature deepwater areas.
