El uso masivo del fracking, la técnica no convencional de extracción de petróleo usada en Estados Unidos, ha revolucionado el mercado del crudo global. Su utilización ha permitido al país norteamericano aumentar la producción y reducir drásticamente las importaciones, algo que ha generado una sobreoferta mundial que se ha traducido en un desplome de los precios. Su potencial, sin embargo, puede ir más allá de las fronteras estadounidenses. Los investigadores de

Royal Dutch Shell's return to oil drilling in the U.S. Arctic for the first time since 2012 took a big step forward on Monday when the Obama administration approved the company's exploration plan.

The Department of Interior conditionally approved Shell's plan to explore for oil in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska. Shell has already spent about $6 billion on exploration in the Arctic.

The Arctic is estimated to contain about 20 percent of the world's undiscovered oil and natural gas, but its recovery could be decades away.

Shell proposes to drill up to six wells in water about 140 feet (40 meters) deep, using two vessels that can serve as relief-wells for each other
