Sphere Energy models simulate battery aging from a handful of tests

Lutz co-founded Sphere with Luca Scherrer and Dr. Daniel Alves Dalla Corte. The company built an AI Operating System that lets large corporations scale AI applications across their organizations. Its proprietary transformer-based models generate CAD parts from a single requirement, optimize complex crash scenarios, and simulate battery aging and performance from just a handful of tests.

Houston – October 29, 2026 -- Shell Offshore Inc. has started production at Phase 3 of the Silvertip project, adding two wells that are expected to produce up to 6,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) at peak rates at the Shell-operated Perdido spar in the Gulf of America.

Silvertip Frio wells are tied into existing subsea infrastructure

The two wells sit in the Silvertip Frio reservoir, where Shell holds 40% and operates, and Chevron U.S.A. holds 60%. Phase 3 connects them to subsea infrastructure already in place, avoiding a new host facility.

Current estimated recoverable volumes for Phase 3 are 17 million boe, classified as 2P under the Society of Petroleum Engineers' Resource Classification System. Both the peak rate and the resource estimate are 100% gross figures.

The PPA covers the 25 MWp Memmendorf park in Saxony and the Pahlen park in Schleswig-Holstein, which has roughly 11.5 MWp. Memmendorf has fed power into the grid since April 2026. Pahlen was commissioned in August 2026, so both projects now deliver under the agreement.

The contract provides for physical power delivery under a pay-as-nominated model. Guarantees of origin are supplied for the electricity delivered.
