Royal Dutch Shell Plc, which announced plans to give up exploring for natural gas in northwest British Columbia’s Klappen area, has agreed to build a water recycling project to help make up for lost capital.

Shell Canada will construct the project though the issuance of C$20 million ($20.3 million) in royalty credits support from the province in recognition of “upfront capital spent by the company” in an area of cultural and spiritual value with “vital salmon-bearing waterways such as the Stikine, Nass and Skeena rivers,” the province said in a statement.
