Since 1999, the Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP) is an ongoing initiative to conduct natural gas exploration along the Nova Scotian continental Shelf. This project produces over 14,000,000 m 3 of natural gas and 3,200 m 3 of liquid natural gas daily. [4] The major partners include ExxonMobil, Shell Canada, Imperial Oil, and Pengrowth Energy.
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.
Drilling has taken place in offshore Atlantic Canada since 1967. Gas was discovered on the Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP) offshore Nova Scotia in 1971, began producing natural gas in 2000, and is still producing. A second natural gas field offshore Nova Scotia is expected to start delivering gas in 2010. [33]
Hibernia oil field. Hibernia is an oil field in the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately 315 kilometres (196 mi) east-southeast of St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, in 80 m of water. [1]: 35–36. The production platform Hibernia is the world's largest oil platform [2] (by mass) and consists of a 37,000 t (41,000 short tons) integrated topsides ...
Most of the other offshore production was in the province of Nova Scotia, which produced 438 cubic metres per day (2,750 bbl/d) of natural gas condensate from its Sable Island offshore natural gas fields in 2015, or about 0.07% of Canada's petroleum. [11] Offshore oil drilling and production at Hibernia, Terra Nova, and White Rose fields off ...
Although the conventional oil and gas industry in western Canada is mature, the country's Arctic and offshore petroleum resources are mostly in early stages of exploration and development. Canada became a natural gas -producing giant in the late 1950s and is second, after Russia, in exports; the country also is home to the world's largest ...
The Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP) is a consortium based in Halifax, Nova Scotia which explores for and produced natural gas near Sable Island on the edge of the Nova Scotian continental shelf in eastern Canada. SOEP produced between 400 and 500 million cubic feet (14,000,000 m 3) of natural gas and 20,000 barrels (3,200 m 3) of natural ...
Field history. Discovery. 1969. The Shelburne Basin Venture Exploration Drilling Project is an exploratory hydrocarbon drilling program by Shell Canada, the subsidiary of Shell plc in the Shelburne basin approximately 250 kilometers offshore, South of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Shell Canada has proposed up to seven exploration wells within six ...
