As a part of our development and operation of the Deep Panuke offshore natural gas project, we are committed to funding the advancement of education, training, research and development in relation to offshore petroleum resource activities in Nova Scotia. These funds are administered by EnCana as directed by the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPB).
