Last year, CEA launched a successful campaign, which we later reported, sent a bundle of letters supporting responsible drilling to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. More, recently, we’ve highlighted reports confirming what we said: That those in favor of expanded drilling outnumbered opponents by a two-to-one margin.
Seemingly a cause for celebration, except that no one from [...]]]></description>

Last year, a severe budget crisis in the country’s most populous state made California the site of a lively – and unexpected &#8212; debate over reviving offshore drilling.
Now Governor Schwarzenegger has drafted a new budget, which does indeed include proposals to revive drilling in a large and controversial site, known as the Tranquillon Ridge, off [...]]]></description>

To fully appreciate the significance of the Interior Department’s long-awaited decision earlier this week to allow Shell Oil to drill three exploratory wells in the contested Chukchi Sea, you need to keep in mind the recent struggles and uncertainties that the oil industry in the state of Alaska has faced.
Last month, ConocoPhillips announced that for [...]]]></description>

Here’s an important detail about the strength of our domestic oil industry that is often lost in the larger debate over opening more of the country to drilling and exploration: Yields are up at many existing oil fields.

Texas. California. Alaska. And now, Florida. That’s the latest site of what has become a series of heated debates over offshore drilling. All around the country, lawmakers overseeing diminished state and local coffers are proposing opening up some regions that are now off limits for offshore drilling, and longtime opponents are clinging to outdated arguments.

Anyone who has worked in the oil industry for a while understands that there’s another meaning to “light sweet,” besides the low-fat dessert the words might first bring to mind. Light, sweet is a kind of crude oil, named for its comparatively low sulphur content, the ease with which it flows out of the ground, [...]]]></description>
