How does natural gas drilling improve the urban environment?
A. Although drilling for natural gas may cause minimal and temporary inconvenience in the immediate area common to any construction project, these wells generate extra revenue that our cities can used to pay for things like new roads, schools and parks throughout the community. Frequently, the addition of natural gas wells in any neighborhood is less obtrusive long-term than new retail space, residential units, or office development which might have occurred on the same site. Southern Operating shares your safety and security concerns, and is dedicated to responsible urban drilling that ensures the protection of the places where we live, work, learn and relax. That’s why Southern Operatingcontinually reviews and improves all our safety programs. We work with communities to create comprehensive action plans.
