Vibes Shaking Ground In Search Of Eastern Kentucky Gas And Oil
As part of a selsmic survey project to search for American energy independence, hugh trucks called Unive Vibratyors (Vibes for short) are shaking the ground as they inch their way down U.S. 23 in Boyd and Lawrence counties this week. A geophysical mapping company out of Texas is searching for possible places where natural gas or oil might be found. Vibes plates drop to the earth and, like sonar, feel up to 20,000 feet out and down. In addition to the 37 miles being surveyed this week, Vibes have covered 450 miles in eastern Kentucky hills and hollows and 300 miles in West Virginia.
