Interior agencies release proposed new Arctic Ocean drilling standards
Interior agencies release proposed new Arctic Ocean drilling standards
The new standards address safety and environmental safeguards and grew in part out of the difficulties Royal Dutch Shell encountered during its efforts to drill in 2012. The proposed standards already apply to Shell, but if approved, would become the benchmark for all oil companies operating in U.S. Arctic waters.
