ST. JOHN’S, Nfld. – Premier Roger Grimes has approached Petro-Canada, Chevron and Husky to bring the province’s natural gas ashore sooner through teamwork. Rather than each company having separate projects for their individual fields, Grimes would like to see them work on a natural gas strategy together. “Each one of them is having great difficulty on a stand-alone basis making the economics work just for their project, so that’s why we’re asking them to consider a basin-wide approach,” says Grimes. He raised the idea with the three main players in the offshore arena during informal meetings on how to fast track the process. n
