Oil Company Withdraws Dangerous Proposal:
Recently, PetroRock withdrew its application to drill and operate hundreds of new wells in the Cat Canyon Oil Field, one of the three dangerous steam injection proposals that EDC and our clients have voiced strong opposition to in the Cat Canyon Oil Field. Collectively, these projects would have more than tripled onshore oil production in Santa Barbara County. PetroRock planned to drill 231 new wells, develop 29 well pads, construct 5 dirty steam generators, and would have added dangerous oil tanker trucks to local roads. The defeat of this project is a major win for our community and this special place we call home! View
