Further to the April 21 News Release issued by the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOPB), ExxonMobil, on behalf of the Hebron proponents, has now filed the Hebron Benefits Plan with the C-NLOPB. This is in connection with the development application for the Hebron Project which was filed with the C-NLOPB on April 15, 2011.
The Benefits Plan will be included in the C-NLOPB’s completeness review to confirm that it contains the information outlined in the Board’s benefit plan guidelines. The Benefits Plan is part of the full development application that will be subject to public review.
The Board wishes to emphasize that the review currently underway is only with respect to completeness of the application. A review of the merits of the project will not commence until the Board is satisfied that it has received a complete application.
