Offshore natural gas and oil could play a critical role in our national security. Read the perspective of our National Co-Chairs Senator Webb & and Secretary Nicholson: https://t.co/jJK0hj6igw
“America must make safe and full use of all of its energy resources for our economy and for our national security—and much of that energy is offshore.” It’s time to #ExploreOffshore. https://t.co/jJK0hj6igw
#Offshore natural gas and oil could support 730,000 American jobs and generate nearly $120 billion in cumulative tax revenues, but lawmakers could slow on U.S. economic growth by limiting offshore exploration and development. https://t.co/GJrEoCdWIh
#Offshore natural gas and oil exploration and development could breathe new life into American communities, by creating jobs that span across numerous industries. Read Senator Webb and Secretary Nicholson’s take: https://t.co/jJK0hj6igw

Seismic surveying is safe & important for our future—learn more about how we can safely #exploreoffshore via @postandcourier https://t.co/jGeb22KLo4
Seismic surveying helps us to learn what resources are within our reach. Read more about this first step in the process of safe energy exploration via @postandcourier https://t.co/jGeb22KLo4
Via @SunSentinel, an op-ed by Rusty Weiss details how we can safely #exploreoffshore and benefit coastal communities: “New offshore drilling could create almost 840,000 jobs and add $200 billion to the government's revenue by 2035.” https://t.co/v2s5yvU8Jd
Check out @DJHollie recent piece that talks about the economic benefits, including thousands of potential jobs for African American & Hispanic workers, if we #exploreoffshore. Link to the article here: https://t.co/vEHjRXOa1n
Over the past ten years, over 100 new or revised standards have been implemented by the natural gas and oil industry to safely develop our offshore natural resources. https://t.co/KiIaezYMvZ
Here are the facts: natural gas and oil industry puts safety first every day. The Center for Offshore Safety makes sure our natural resources are developed safely every day. https://t.co/KiIaezYMvZ
Here is a fact: Federal agencies require offshore natural gas and oil operators to maintain quickly deployable systems and technology to safely develop our resources and protect the environment.
Local, state, and federal agencies work directly with the natural gas and oil industry to ensure the safe exploration of offshore energy. It is through this partnership that America continues to be a leader in safe and responsible energy development.
Today, offshore operators in the US follow a robust systems-based approach to safety by implementing Safety and Environment Management Systems known as “SEMS.” SEMS are then audited by independent third parties to ensure safety.
Good news! Virginia’s coastal communities, such as Hampton Roads, could see new jobs & infrastructure improvements if they embrace responsible offshore energy development.@MikeWatson_VA has the details: https://t.co/2AGWA3srEP
LA State Sen. @sharonhewitt in testimony yesterday urged the Congress to consider positive impacts from developing #offshore energy on the U.S.’s economy, national security and global energy demand https://t.co/uFAiexfpQH
Did you know that seismic surveys use the same technical principles as a medical ultrasounds but just on a larger scale? The sound waves produced are safe for ocean life & any disturbances are mitigated. Read more from @oceanindustries in @dcexaminer: https://t.co/DtCIoNXeon
