SOEP's facilities alliance and drilling contractors will outline

Scotia Offshore Energy Office, said the session "will enable
hundreds of Nova Scotia businesses, in numerous fields, to make
key contacts with the alliance partners and identify
opportunities to become contractors or subcontractors in the
Sable project."

fabrication of offshore facilities and structures, fabrication of
onshore gas and liquids facilities, automation control systems,
