Six pockets of natural gas are located just off Sable Island in Nova
Scotia. Tests and initial drilling indicate that Sable Island is one of
the world's richest deposits. Here are the primary industry sites connected
with the $2 billion dollar Sable Offshore Energy project, with links to
employment, training, engineering and contracting firms.
