Why don't you supply George W. with Jeb's phone number so maybe they can chat about it. Whoops, forgot, no interference in the process.:)

Hey, did I almost hear you say that the Democrats were doing a good thing? I will have to bookmark that post.

Canada's first offshore oil project nears completion

HALIFAX, Dec. 10 /CNW/ - PanCanadian Petroleum Limited announced today
that Canada's first offshore oil project has reached the end of its economic
life. The Cohasset-Panuke oil fields, located about 250 kilometres offshore
Nova Scotia, are expected to cease production on December 16, 1999.
The Cohasset Project began producing Canada's first offshore oil on June
2, 1992. The fields were initially expected to produce about 35 million
barrels, but with the application of additional drilling and new technology,
the fields have produced more than 44 million barrels of light sweet crude
oil. PanCanadian's development work has extended the original life of the
fields by more than two years. The project work has contributed to the Nova
Scotia and Atlantic economies and helped build offshore oil infrastructure on
Canada's East Coast. It has also contributed significantly to regulatory
development in an emerging new industry for the region.
Over the past three years, PanCanadian has conducted a growing
exploration program offshore Nova Scotia. This includes the acquisition of 15
exploration blocks covering more than 1.6 million hectares both on the Scotian
Shelf and in the deeper waters.
PanCanadian will maintain its East Coast presence, continuing exploration
activities on its large offshore land base. The company plans to drill two
exploration wells next year. PanCanadian will decommission the Cohasset
Project oil wells over the next several months. Current exploration drilling
from the Panuke platform is in the evaluation phase, which will continue into
2000. Specific work plans and associated resources will be determined upon
completion of the evaluation.
PanCanadian is the operator and a 50 per cent owner of the project, along
with Nova Scotia Resources (Ventures) Limited.
PanCanadian is one of Canada's largest producers and marketers of crude
oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Its extensive exploration and
production activities stretch from coast to coast in Canada and include a
variety of international interests in the Gulf of Mexico, the United Kingdom,
Australia and Africa.
