King George County
“State officials will talk to the King George board about
drilling regulations, the region’s geology and deposits in the area, according
to a spokesman from the state department.
For three months, the King George supervisors have said they
want to look at their ordinances and see what they can or cannot allow in terms
of fracking. That’s another term for hydraulic fracturing, a process that
injects chemicals into the ground to fracture rocks, which then release oil and
natural gas.
A Texas-based company has leased more than 84,000 acres in
the Taylorsville Basin area, including 10,443 acres in King George, to do some
preliminary drilling for oil and gas.”
