ST. JOHN's, Newfoundland (AP) The leader of Canada's east coast province of Newfoundland has announced a tentative agreement to develop an offshore project estimated to contain 223 million barrels of oil.
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams said Tuesday the provincial government will acquire a 10 percent equity stake in Hibernia South. The development includes Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., Petro-Canada, Norsk Hydro, Murphy Oil Corp. and Canada Hibernia Holding. Williams says over the life of the project, the province will generate $8.8 billion in revenue while Canada will earn $3.1 billion. Newfoundland rejected a proposal to develop the project in 2007.- Loading Comments...
