Drilling Project Moves Forward
An offshore drilling project west of Lompoc and Vandenberg Air Force Base is one step closer to breaking ground.

Opponents wanted the board to overturn the planning commission's decision, which approved the project. Plains Exploration and Production Company worked out a landmark agreement with environmental groups to pump out up to 150 million barrels of oil from an area called the Tranquillon Ridge. |
