WASHINGTON, Oct. 9, 2015 — Dan K. Eberhart, the CEO of Canary, LLC (Houston), one of the largest private oil field services companies in America, announced today that the House of Representatives’ vote to lift the 40 year-old US crude oil export ban “represents a historic reawakening for American energy.”
“This is the moment we’ve been waiting for, a bellwether for change in our economy and an opportunity to open competitive, free market petroleum trade worldwide,” Eberhart said. “Representative Joe Barton (R-Texas), who sponsored H.R. 702, the bill lifting the ban, today won a resounding victory for all of us. The House vote 261 to 159 shows we are ready to reinvigorate American energy production, cut imports and free up additional supplies to provide allies and neutral nations with an alternate – and safe – source of petroleum supply.”
