London-based BP said Tuesday it is shelving its Liberty offshore drilling project in Beaufort Sea, after deciding that its current plan isn’t up to the standards it promised to follow after the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe—and revamping its drilling rig to meet those standards would be too costly. read more

LINKS SUGGESTED BY A REGULAR CONTRIBUTOR

John,

Here is an article that discussed Canadian concerns about blowout in the high Arctic off-shore environment and how difficult it would be to kill a blowout in a single season. Thought you might find it interesting. I don’t think US regulators are as tough on this matter as the Canadians are.

Message to Shell HR EVP, Upstream Americas: Wake Up Culpepper, start listening for a change!

POSTING ON OUR SHELL BLOG FROM AN IRRITATED INSIDER SOURCE
