Is it possible to execute shrink space when the production database is online?
Will it cause any signifacant overhead?

The "ALTER TABLE SHRINK SPACE" must lock the table at some stage. So, you might get away with it, but I wouldn't try it on a busy database.

Hi,

Before shrinking the tablespace please visit metalink.
One patch sometime is recomended to be applied before shrinking.

Or you may be in great difficulties.Once I faced very bitter experience with 3 days prod data loss.
