LONDON (AP) — Royal Dutch Shell has pulled out of a controversial oil project off Scotland’s Shetland Islands, saying the project no longer makes economic sense for the company.

Shell says that after comprehensive screening of the proposed Cambo development, it has concluded the economic case for investment in this project is not strong enough at this time.
