Sable Island Gas - the Ten Year Wonder

Sable Island lies about 150 km off the coast of Nova Scotia. In its vicinity lie the natural gas fields of the Sable Offshore Energy Project. Production from these fields began in 1999, and there was initially considerable optimism about the potential of the area. Since then, a number of dry holes have been drilled and exploration licences abandoned. There are some optimistic voices still to be heard, but the future of the area merits a closer look.
