Hardleers Shell will drill for oil in vulnerable Alaska Arctic – Wel.nl

Shell wants to search for oil and gas again in the arctic region north of Alaska, the FD reveals. The plans are striking, because Shell decided in September 2015 after years of exploration and production stop oil drilling in the Arctic near Alaska. The company thought the revenues were too low. Shell increasingly talks about sustainability and the environment, but is still just a company that wants to drill and sell oil.

When Shell quit five years ago, it brought great relief to environmental organizations, which had protested for years against Shell’s activities in the Arctic. Shell’s departure also resulted in billions in the burden. In total, the oil company had invested $ 7 billion in the exploratory drilling. Shell then indicated that it would not resume drilling.
