This week, both sides said they agreed to extend the takeover agreement to March 2.Canadian Industry Minister Christian Paradis approved of the takeover proposal last month, ending the Canadian approval process. The U.S. government needs to review the deal because Nexen has operations in the U.S. waters of the Gulf of Mexico. |
