US court suspends Shell Beaufort Sea oil drilling
Environmental
U.S. federal appeals court has ordered Royal Dutch Shell Plc to suspend drilling operations on offshore oil blocks in the Beaufort Sea off the north coast of Alaska pending a legal challenge being brought by environmental activists and Alaska Native groups.
The Alaska North Slope Borough has been leading a legal fight against Shell's drilling plans, arguing that environmental impact assessments prepared by the company are inadequate.
