New Offshore Oil Drilling Proposed for Santa Barbara

Yesterday the Ventura County Star reported:

“If it jumps over the many state and federal hurdles, Pacific Operators Offshore LLC could drill as many as 25 underwater wells over the course of seven years from Platform Hogan. [...] Although Pacific Operators Offshore drills on just two of the platforms in the oil-rich channel, it has accrued the most violations of basic operating procedures of any company working in the channel, a Star investigation found last year.”
