Toreador Resources Corporation commented on the interim report on the economic, social and environmental impact of unconventional hydrocarbon exploration and development in France -- a study undertaken by the General Council of Industry, Energy and Technology (CGIET) and the General Council on the Environment and Sustainable Development (CGEED) per the instruction of the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Energy.
Craig McKenzie, President and CEO of Toreador, said, “Toreador welcomes the interim report produced by the CGIET and the CGEDD regarding unconventional hydrocarbon activities in France. We believe this report, assembled in partnership with national and regional elected officials, enterprises, industry and environmental associations and academics, will help inform the upcoming parliamentary debate about unconventional exploration on May 4, 2011. As part of the report, we welcome the intention to allow regulated and supervised unconventional exploration.”
Continued McKenzie, “As a longstanding, established operator in France, we will continue to interact with the government and local communities in which we operate and we look forward to the opportunity to play a part in realizing the positive economic and social benefits that oil exploration in the Paris Basin would have for France.”
