The Proposed Project
Husky Oil Operations Limited (Husky) and ExxonMobil Canada Limited (ExxonMobil) are proposing to conduct an exploration drilling project within offshore exploration licences on the Grand Banks, located approximately 350 kilometres east of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, in the Atlantic Ocean. As proposed, the Jeanne D'Arc Basin Exploration Drilling Project would allow the proponents, over a nine-year period, to determine the presence, nature, and quantities of the potential hydrocarbon resource in exploration licences 1151A, 1151B, 1152 and 1155.
Please note that the project was formerly known as Husky Energy Exploration Drilling Project.
