Early the other morning Joe and I traveled to Dimock, Pennsylvania to talk with some residents about “the box” Energy in Depth has mentioned in a couple different posts. The box is a nine square mile area in Dimock where Cabot Oil and Gas was temporarily forced to stop all production until further notice from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The DEP has officially given Cabot Oil and Gas the go ahead to continue exploring natural gas wells that have already been prepped for well stimulation. This was great news to many people in the box but some are still waiting for the green light from the DEP allowing Cabot Oil and Gas to develop their land. We went to visit Esther Rayias and Karen Radwanski to get their opinions on this decision. They, like any good neighbors, are happy the Department of Environmental Protection has come forward and allowed Cabot Oil and Gas to continue production on the natural gas wells they started but they are anxious to hear when their natural gas wells can be developed.
