WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, January 10^th the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources will hold an oversight hearing on “The Science Behind Discovery: Seismic Exploration and the Future of the Atlantic OCS.” This hearing will feature testimony highlighting the technological advancements in the field of seismic technology and the essential role seismic exploration plays in future offshore energy development and job creation in the Atlantic.

Without seismic exploration, economic and energy development are left to rely on more than 40-year old data.  Seismic exploration is the foundation for energy development and moving forward in a timely manner in the Atlantic is absolutely pivotal to future energy production and the tens of thousands of jobs it will create.

Visit the Committee Calendar for additional information, once it is made available.  The meeting is open to the public and a live video stream will be broadcast at http://naturalresources.house.gov/live.
