Heal the Ocean has received the following announcement from Beacon West Energy Group, the full contract operator group working with the CA State Lands Commission to clean up the leaking oil off Summerland:
Summerland Legacy Well Re-abandonment Work to Commence Aug. 14
On behalf of the California State Lands Commission, 2H, and the entire Legacy Well Re-Abandonment team, this is to inform you of the schedule for the next phase of work under this program. The Curtin Maritime barge is scheduled to mobilize from Long Beach on August 13 and arrive onsite, offshore Summerland, the morning of Monday, August 14, 2023, to set anchors and begin well abandonment activities. Re-abandonment of legacy wells Treadwell #1 and #5 is expected to take 5-6 days per well (see well locations noted in Yellow below). Notices are being posted this week at nearby locations (Lookout Park, Loon Point, Wallace Ave) and in the Santa Barbara Independent. A portion of Lookout Park parking lot will be used for emergency response equipment as a contingency measure (see inset).
As you may recall from past projects, abandonment work involves driving a pipe pile over the 100+ year old well down into the blue clay, thereby encapsulating the well. We will have a marine mammal monitor on location to ensure there are no marine mammals within the established safety zone during pile driving operations. Residents along the beach may hear the periodic pile driving, which should last no more than 20-30 min at a time.
As always, we appreciate your support for this work and look forward to another successful project.
Best regards,

Thank you to all for the work that will be done!!!
Thank you to all who are doing their best to clean up our Ocean and beaches after the damage done by oil companies. To further understand the problem, I recommend a great book by Jonathan Eisen called, “Suppressed Inventions”.

Started out OK, then swooped into irrational nonsense. Do try to learn something about differentiating woo from reality.
Does anyone know if they work in Sundays?
