Ventura oil company barred from fracking in Santa Barbara Channel
An oil company’s request to conduct fracking off the coast of Ventura was denied by a federal judge this week. The Ventura-based DCOR, L.L.C. oil and natural gas company will not be allowed to proceed with its two proposed permits to conduct fracking in the Santa Barbara Channel at Platform Gilda, which is about 9 miles off the Ventura coast.
