ATLANTA — A federal appeals court has rejected arguments by a coalition of environmental groups, who maintain that U.S. regulators failed to thoroughly review the potential dangers of drilling new deep wells in the Gulf of Mexico.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision supports a federal agency’s approval, allowing Shell to move ahead with plans for 10 deep-water wells.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management failed to properly analyze potential catastrophic spills and underestimated the likelihood of a spill, the environmental groups argued.
