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 ...
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.
In 1967 Mobil drilled the first well off Nova Scotia, the Sable Offshore Energy Project C-67 well. Located on desolate, sandy Sable Island (best known for its herd of wild horses), the well bottomed in gas-bearing Cretaceous rocks. Drilling stopped there because the technology did not exist to handle the super-pressures the well encountered.
One positive outlier was Sable Offshore (NYSE: SOC), which gained 29.5% this week. The decline in oil will hit companies hard Crude oil's price decline won't be felt evenly across the energy industry.
The Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline is a natural gas transmission pipeline that runs from the Sable Offshore Energy Project (SOEP) gas plant in Goldboro, Nova Scotia, Canada to Dracut, Massachusetts, United States. The 762 mm (30 in) mainline pipeline runs 1,300 km (810 mi) through the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and ...
Sable Island's heliport contains emergency aviation fuel for search and rescue helicopters, which use the island to stage further offshore into the Atlantic. When the Sable Offshore Energy Project was active, the island was designated as an emergency evacuation point for crews aboard nearby drilling rigs. In 2017, Exxon Mobil began the plugging ...
Halifax Harbour was also the staging site for much of the development of the Sable Offshore Energy natural gas project during the late 1990s, as well as somewhat smaller crude oil development projects during the 1970s-1990s. Unemployment is relatively low (5.9% in July 2010) and is well below both the provincial and national averages. [4]
Fracking in Canada was first used in Alberta in 1953 to extract hydrocarbons from the giant Pembina oil field, the biggest conventional oil field in Alberta, which would have produced very little oil without fracturing. Since then, over 170,000 oil and gas wells have been fractured in Western Canada. [1][2]: 1298 Fracking is a process that ...
