Announced today is an extension of the review process for the proposal between state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation and  Calgary-based Nexen.

It was scheduled to end tomorrow, but a 30 extension was granted under the Investment Canada Act.

The $15.1-billion bid has already been approved by shareholders but still needs to be a net benefit to Canada to be approved.

Policy questions have raised most concern.

The review period can be extended again, only if CNOOC agrees.
