The Offshore Energy Research Association of Nova Scotia and National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines of Morocco have signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperative research of petroleum resource potential.
The MOU envisions studies comparing recently collected seismic and geochemical data to improve characterization of common geological elements of the Scotian and Moroccan conjugate margins.
Before continental break-up, Nova Scotia and Morocco were joined as one land mass.
Representatives of the groups signed the MOU in Halifax during the biennial Conjugate Margins Conference.
