Shell’s repaired icebreaker arrives at Arctic Ocean drilling site
Asaf Shalev: August 12, 2015
A key emergency response vessel arrived at Royal Dutch Shell’s drill site in the Arctic Ocean Tuesday night, inching forward the oil giant’s plans for digging an exploratory well this summer.
With arrival of the Fennica, a leased Finnish icebreaker, final federal approval is the only hurdle remaining before Shell can expand its operation off Alaska’s northwest shore and begin drilling into the layer of oil-bearing rock, which lies some 8,000 feet below the ocean floor.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
