Energy services provider Danos Operations Services has been selected to take over production operations at the Shenandoah platform, one of the most important new oil infrastructures in the United States located in the deepwater Gulf of America.
About the Shenandoah platform
The floating facility, operated by Beacon Offshore Energy, is finalizing its connection to subsea systems and is expected to begin producing crude oil at full capacity in late summer 2025. With an estimated capacity of 120,000 barrels per day, the project is located 370 kilometers south of New Orleans and represents a major investment in U.S. offshore development.

Danos will provide skilled personnel for key operations on the platform: production operators, electrical and instrumentation technicians, specialized mechanics and offshore facilities managers. Part of the team is already working since 2024, ahead of Shenandoah’s full commissioning.
We are honored to support Beacon Offshore Energy with production services.
said Paul Danos, the company’s chief executive officer.
Danos consolidates its presence in the Gulf of America
With more than six decades of experience, Danos has evolved from a tugboat company to a tugboat company to an integral reference in services for the energy sector. It currently employs some 1,300 people in offshore activities and its total workforce exceeds 3,300 employees nationwide. Through its operations and projects divisions, it offers solutions ranging from production to construction, energy systems, industrial coatings and supply chain.
The award of the contract in Shenandoah positions Danos as a key player in the operation of deepwater oilfield facilities, a segment with strong competition and high demand for technical quality. Beacon Offshore, for its part, strengthens its collaboration network with a partner with a proven track record in the Gulf.
