Shell Wins Alaska Permit

摘要

Royal Dutch Shell has secured a critical US regulatory permit to conduct planned ex ploratory oil drilling this year in Alaska’s Chukchi Sea, regulators and the company said on Thursday. The Environmental Protection Agency has authorized emissions from Shell’s drill ship and support vessels, issuing a final air-quality permit. The permit is the first “major-source” air-quality permit ever issued for US Arctic waters, EPA officials said.
