Oil and Gas drilling in the Rocky Mountain West

Over the past 20 years, oil and gas drilling has spread rampantly across the Rocky Mountain west destroying much of God’s creation and devastating the health and well being of many of God’s communities.

The drilling for oil and gas is threatening God’s creation, ruining ecosystems and often harming migratory patterns for birds and elk alike.

In addition, oil and gas drilling is harming God’s children, in particular those communities living near the site.

This is a map of the wells that are currently production in the Rocky Mountain West.
