Statoil Ends Arctic Oil Drilling Program 
-----------------------------------------


 
The Norwegian oil company Statoil has announced it's ending its Arctic
oil drilling program, even though its stakes in the Arctic don't expire
until 2020. The move comes after Shell walked away from its oil drilling
program in the Arctic after spending $7 billion on it.
