Here’s an animation explaining Shell’s response plans in the case of an oil spill while drilling exploratory wells in Alaska’s Chukchi Sea.

Right now, Shell is awaiting the final approval needed to move forward with its exploratory drilling plans in Chukchi Sea this summer. The drilling program will mark Shell’s first return to the region since its failed summer 2012 campaign.
