WASHINGTON — A new order imposing a moratorium on deep-water drilling could be refined to reflect offshore conditions, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Wednesday. Salazar has said he plans to issue a new drilling freeze after a federal judge struck down a previous ban Tuesday. Late Wednesday, the Justice Department also said it was appealing that ruling.
Salazar told a Senate subcommittee Wednesday said the new ban “might be refined” to include provisions to allow drilling in areas where reserves and risks are known rather than in exploratory reservoirs. The Associated Press
