As of 27 February 2016, Anadarko Canada has withdrawn from two offshore exploration licenses and sold its interest to BP Canada for an undisclosed amount. The blocks, EL 1125 and EL 1126 are both located in the East Orphan and Flemish Pass basins respectively. The effective date of the interest change is 15 January 2018. No reason was given for the sell since Anadarko continues to hold interest in four additional blocks in the region. Anadarko acquired the interest through the acquisition of Shell Canadaâs working interest in the same blocks, Shell in turn had acquired the working interest through its acquisition of BG. EL 1125 and EL 1126 were both officially awarded on 15 January 2012 from the NL11-02 Call for Bids held in 2011.  EL 1125 consisted of 2,470.16 sq km at the time of award but has been reduced by half to 1,230.95 sq km through an extension of Period I for one year by placing a CAD 1,000,000 drilling deposit. Working interest partners in EL 1125 are now Statoil Canada (operator) 40%, Chevron Canada 40% and BP Canada 10%. The exploration license was awarded for a work commitment bid of CAD 202,171,394.  EL 1126 consist of 1,867.80 sq km and was awarded for a work commitment bit of CAD 145,603.270 million. The contract entered Period II based on the drilling of one exploration well. Working interest holders are the same as EL 1125 at Statoil Canada (operator) 40%, Chevron Canada 40% and BP Canada 10%.
