Some major upgrades are coming to the ExxonMobil Oil and Gas Gallery at the Johnson Geo Centre.

The Johnson Geo Centre today announced that a $2.2-million donation from the Hebron project and the Hebron Project Employers’ Association will go towards updating the Oil and Gas Gallery.

The donation comes in recognition of Hebron’s first year of operations.

The upgrades include a larger gallery space, updated exhibits, new technology and the installation of an interactive drilling simulator that will simulate the Hebron platform’s drilling rig and processes.

Visitors will be able to use controls to virtually maneuver the machines that come with drilling a well.
