Protecting The Land We Drill Upon

[vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image css_animation=”” image=”5471″ border_color=”” img_link_large=”” link=”https://wellsaidcabot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Social-Responsibility-Option-1.jpg.jpg” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Cabot takes its environmental responsibility seriously and in doing so we try to meet and exceed the regulations by placing layers of protection on our operation sites. We do that for the drilling process as well as the completion process, to ensure that nothing will touch the landowner’s property.
