Huge drilling programme by the Anglo Dutch Shell heralds scramble for the Arctic - by Steve Hawkes
Shell is preparing its biggest exploration programme in the Arctic Ocean off Alaska for more than a decade, a move that could establish a new frontier for the oil and gas industry. The Anglo-Dutch energy giant expects to start a controversial three-year programme next month with a small armada of ships drilling a dozen wells in the Beaufort Sea 30 miles off the Alaskan coast.
Industry experts have claimed that it could spark a rush into one of the world’s biggest untapped energy reserves.
