   Drilling stopped there because the technology did not exist to handle the super-pressures the well encountered. Shell's experience at this well foreshadowed two future developments on the Scotian Shelf. First, major discoveries offshore Nova Scotia would generally be natural gas reservoirs and second, they would involve high pressures.
