BUENOS AIRES, June 9 (Reuters) - Oil company Royal Dutch
Shell Plc said on Tuesday it had resumed activities at
its Bajada de Añelo block in Argentina's Vaca Muerta area after
seismic activity in the region led to a halt late last week.
"Shell Argentina resumed its activities on Pad 22 of the
Bajada de Añelo block, after determining that the conditions for
a safe and sustainable return to work were guaranteed," the
company said in a statement.
The oil firm said on Saturday it had suspended activities
after seismic movements in an area of Argentina's Neuquén
province near the Andes mountains bordering on Chile.
Shell operates other areas in Vaca Muerta, a huge region of
unconventional hydrocarbons including the Cruz de Lorena,
Sierras Blancas, Aguila Mora, and Coirón Amargo Suroeste blocks.
