What are energy producers doing to help preserve the environment?
Oil and natural gas companies have the advanced technology and know-how to protect the land during development. They produce oil and natural gas with minimal surface presence, and when work is completed, wells are closed and the land is restored as closely as possible to original conditions. Moreover, development only occurs once government and industry agree on how wildlife, water supplies, and sites with historical or archeological significance will be protected. Government agencies at the federal, state and local levels oversee development operations.
