Check Out Our Natural Gas & Oil Drilling Collection
Now that we’ve got our image gallery all organized and pretty, we don’t want to keep it to ourselves. We want to share our images with you and ask what you think. So without further ado, here is our biggest collection, Natural Gas and Oil Drilling. The images in this collection show the impacts of exploration, drilling, production, storage and transport of natural gas and oil. This gallery contains images of some beautiful Western landscapes too, like Valle Vidal, Raton Basin in New Mexico, shown here:
Or how about pictures from the the San Juan Basin of Colorado and New Mexico, where coalbed methane development has forever changed the landscape:
Take a look at our Upper Green River Valley, Wyoming set, then read more it in our blog posts.
Also in this collection are the Roan Plateau, Colorado set, with stunning visuals like this:
But don’t stop there. There are 21 sets in this collection including the Pronghorn Roadkill Accident in the Jonah Gas Field of Wyoming; the Otero Mesa, in the Permian Basin of New Mexico; the Oil Sands/Oil Shale set; a simulation of proposed drilling in Grand Mesa, Colorado; and the Wyoming Range, Bridger-Teton National Forest.
There are images from the Montara Oil Spill off the coast of Australia in August of 2009, a blowout that provided us an unhappy preview of what can go wrong with offshore drilling:
Dirty Snow on the North Slope of Alaska:
And the tragic BP/Deepwater Horizon blowout in our own Gulf of Mexico almost a year ago:
Go check out these and many other images now at our SkyTruth Gallery. And we’ll be back with our next collection soon.
