Shell Confirms Plans to Drill Offshore Alaska This Year

摘要

Royal Dutch Shell has confirmed it plans to conduct further exploration drilling in Arctic waters offshore Alaska this summer, assuming it can get its hands on the required regulatory permits and does not encounter serious legal obstacles. Shell had already submitted a revised exploration plan last year to keep open the option of conducting further drilling in the Chukchi Sea this year, although it had stopped short of saying it would actually do so (OD Aug.29'14).
