Drill ship headed to N.S. as Shell prepares for oil exploration
CTV Atlantic: Wednesday, October 14, 2015
With a drill ship on its way to Nova Scotia, it may be just a few weeks before Shell Canada begins oil exploration in the Shelburne Basin.
The Stena IceMax is one of the most modern drill ships in the world and weighs nearly 60,000 tonnes. It’s designed to drill in deep water and is due to arrive in Nova Scotia around Oct. 20, although the date is flexible.
“It’s difficult to say when it will be within the staging area because we are awaiting a decision from the CNSOPB [Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board] before we could begin any drilling activity,” says Cameron Yost, a spokesman for Shell Canada.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
