HOMER — It’s been more than six weeks since Buccaneer Energy’s jack-up rig Endeavour arrived in Alaska to begin drilling for oil and gas in Cook Inlet. But the rig remains tied up at the Homer harbor and plans for it to drill this year near Tyonek have now been scrapped.
It was Aug. 24 when the 400-foot-tall jack-up rig Endeavour, one of the largest such rigs in the world, arrived in Kachemak Bay from Singapore. The plan at the time was for the rig to stay a week or two before heading north to drill near Tyonek.
