With a capacity of 120,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), the Shenandoah facility is located approximately 230 miles from New Orleans.

Danos CEO Paul Danos said: “We are honoured to support Beacon Offshore Energy with production services.
“Danos is a people-focused company, and we’re proud to introduce our new partner to the high-performing employees and strong customer service that define our team.”
