The oil companies Repsol and Partex plan to start deep-sea oil/gas-drilling along Portugal's Algarve coast this year. Hook up with this facebook group for more information.
The first exploratory drilling
operations are already taking place only 8 kilometers offshore from the
coast, amidst much secrecy and chronic lack of information from all
parties involved.
It appears that the first rig to be used for
the exploration was bought as “scrap” in Indonesia and is now being
refurbished and re-commissioned. This is deeply worrying, especially
because no EIA’s (Environmental Impact Studies) have been conducted, nor
has there been any open disclosures by the authorities or the companies
involved, nor any public consultation.
Please SIGN & SHARE THE PETITION to Portugal's government and the oil companies
