Shell to cease further exploration in Alaska

The company said it did not find sufficient amounts of oil and gas in the Burger J well, located in the Chukchi Sea about 150 miles from Barrow, to warrant further exploration. The decision to stop exploration reflects the project’s high costs and the unpredictable federal regulatory environment in offshore Alaska along with the Burger J well results, the company said.
