The April 30, 2012 Call for Bids by the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPB) is another step forward in reinvigorating interest in Nova Scotia’s offshore oil and gas industry. The CNSOPB issued a Call for Bids for exploration rights for eleven parcels of land in the Nova Scotia Offshore. The call includes six parcels nominated by industry.
Results from the Play Fairway Analysis, a $15 million research investment by Nova Scotia, provided an industry standard picture of the sub-sea geology offshore and assessed its oil and gas potential, leading to the lands included in this Call for Bids.
The Call for Bids deadline is 4:00 p.m. Atlantic Time, November 7, 2012.
