Dear Conservatives,
Currently,
Federal Government policies ban offshore oil and gas exploration and
development in 87% of the offshore areas under federal control. These areas have a huge potential to produce the oil and natural gas our nation needs.
The first step towards making this happen is to find out how much oil
and natural gas exists offshore. We can do that through seismic
surveying.
Right now, the Obama Administration is considering whether to allow these surveys for the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf. If federal officials decide against allowing these surveys, we won’t be seeing offshore drilling any time soon.
As a member of our industry you understand that it’s vital that these
surveys are approved so our nation can get moving on accessing the
abundant energy resources off our coastlines.
Expanding
offshore drilling could create 280,000 new jobs nationwide and could
contribute up to $23.5 billion to the U.S. economy every year. Let’s make sure our nation can begin enjoying these great benefits that have been blocked for decades. Let’s make sure Washington approves offshore seismic surveying.
Thank you again for your support,
The Energy Nation Team
