Citadel Exploration Inc. announced that it has completed the preliminary surveys required by the County of San Benito for project Indian. As an operator in California it is important to work closely and effectively with all local agencies that supervise drilling operations. California agencies demand the level of adherence to health, safety and environmental regulations. Citadel Exploration Inc. will continue to adhere to these measures and believes that devoting extra attention to these issues in the earliest stages may benefit the company greatly as operations progress.
