Royal Dutch Shell will halt construction on a site that could have produced 80,000 barrels of oil per day in the Canadian tar sands, and the delay in approving the Keystone XL pipeline could be a factor.
Shell said Tuesday it would stop construction on the Carmon Creek project in Alberta. The project became too expensive as oil prices have plummeted, according to the company.
