Seismic Testing Discussion Slated

News Release from SODA (Stop Oil Drilling in the Atlantic}

Seismic Testing and Oil Drilling off the South Carolina Coast

A number of oil & gas companies have already applied for permits to explore the viability of drilling for oil and gas off our SC coast.

Please join us for an evening of fact-based learning and respectful dialogue as we raise questions, seek answers and share our experience and expertise, while we learn more about the potential impact of oil and gas drilling off our coast. 

Prior to a Q&A session, we will have a presentation by Peg Howell, to update us on the Dept of Interior pre-leasing process that is currently underway. Peg is a resident of North Litchfield, has a degree in Petroleum Engineering, and has worked with a number of oil companies including Chevron and Exxon-Mobil. She has personally spent time on oil drilling rigs in both the North Sea and in the Gulf.

Whatever your current thinking on offshore drilling, you will find this presentation and discussion informative. It is a rare opportunity to have your questions addressed by a highly qualified petroleum engineer.
