The Shelburne Basin Venture Exploration Drilling Project is an exploratory hydrocarbon drilling program by Shell Canada Limited, the subsidiary of Anglo-Dutch Royal Dutch Shell in the Shelburne basin approximately 250 kilometres offshore, South of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Shell Canada has proposed up to seven exploration wells within six exploration licenses over a four year period from 2015 to 2019. Shell carried out a 3D Wide Azimuth seismic survey in 2013, and a seabed survey in the same offshore area in 2014. In June 2015, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency published their environmental assessment. The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPB) approved the project on October 20, 2015.〔http://www.cnsopb.ns.ca/news/canada-nova-scotia-offshore-petroleum-board-issues-shell-canada-operations-authorization-%E2%80%93-dril〕 ==Overview == 300px On January 20, 2012, the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPB) announced that Shell was the successful bidder on four parcels offshore Nova Scotia and issued Exploration Licences 2423, 2424, 2425 and 2426 to Shell on March 1, 2012.〔press release ( Canadian-Nova Scotian Offshore Petroleum Board announces results of call for bids NS11-1 ) Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPB), 20 January 2012〕 On January 15, 2013 Shell successfully bid on an additional two parcels and was issued Exploration Licences 2429 and 2430. These six exploration licences cover an area of roughly 19,845 square kilometres. The areas are located offshore approximately 300 kilometres south of Halifax, Nova Scotia in water depths of 500-3500m. The purpose of the project is to find and confirm hydrocarbons in the deep water off the coast of Nova Scotia. Shell maintains a 50% working interest and is the operator of the exploration licenses, ConocoPhillips maintains a 30% and Suncor Energy a 20% non-operating interest in the joint venture.〔Shell press release (Shell welcomes joint venture partners to offshore Nova Scotia project ) Shell Canada, News Release, 9 June 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shelburne Basin Venture Exploration Drilling Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
