Interior Dept. Takes First Step To Allow Drilling In Arctic Reserve – By OAN Newsroom (oann.com) / Sept 16 2017
The Trump Administration takes it’s first step towards opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve for drilling.
Reports released Friday suggest Interior Department Officials are seeking to revise a 30-year-old regulation that currently prohibits seismic studies in the area.
Authorities estimate as much as nine billion dollar barrels of recoverable oil lay beneath the 19 million acres of the reserve’s surface.
If the rule is finalized then companies would be able to bid on conducting seismic studies in the area.
However, only congress has the power to permit drilling in the wildlife reserve.
