The last frontier: oil and gas in the Artic region   The Arctic is estimated to hold around 30% of the world’s undiscovered natural gas and 13% of its undiscovered oil. This prospect, in combination with melting ice, strong prices and technological advances, are making drilling in the region more attractive than it has ever been. But what are the drawbacks? Who owns the Arctic? Can the reserves be developed safely and responsibly? And what are the challenges for materials and equipment suppliers? James Chater reports....
