Royal Dutch Shell Plc, which has been blocked from developing leases it holds off Alaska’s Arctic coast, this week will ask the U.S. to approve drilling as many as 10 oil exploration wells by the end of 2013.
The Hague-based company will submit an Alaska Plan of Exploration for 2012 through 2013 to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, Kelly op de Weegh, a spokeswoman for Shell, said today in an e-mail.
