Fossil Oil Company’s President, Dennis R. Kittler will be featured on a news segment with WEAR–TV Station (ABC Channel 3) in Pensacola, FL.  On March 16^th, Bill Pearson, ABC TV News reporter, will interview Mr. Kittler at Fossil’s current drilling location in Escambia County, Alabama.  Mr. Kittler will take a camera crew and reporter, Bill Pearson, on a tour of Precision Drilling Company’s Rig #86 which is now drilling Fossil’s Roll Tide Smackover Oil Prospect.  This is the 2^nd of three (3) wells scheduled to be drilled by Rig #86 in this SW Alabama region for Fossil Oil and its Operator partner.  In addition to describing this rotary rig’s components to the reporter and its viewers, Mr. Kittler will talk about the prolific Smackover oil formation (Dolomite) which is the primary target in this newest core area for both Fossil and Choice and the impact that successful drilling will have on both this community and to Fossil Oil’s joint venture partners. Below is a small bit on who is doing the story on Mr. Kittler.

Bill Pearson joined the Channel 3 News team in February of 2006. Before WEAR, he worked for more than three years as a General Assignment Reporter for WCTV in Tallahassee.

Bill’s interest in television news began early, when at age five he would make time to watch the local weather report. As he grew older, his interest in television shifted more towards news.

Bill graduated with a Journalism degree from the University of Central Florida in 2002. His broadcasting career began in college, while working for WUCF-FM. He then moved on from radio and into television where he worked for two years as an associate producer/writer for WFTV, the ABC station in Orlando.

During his reporting career, Bill has enjoyed the opportunity of interviewing a wide variety of people including the governors of both Florida and Georgia, members of the armed services, local leaders and of course everyday citizens.

Bill is an avid sports fan, and he enjoys rooting for the University of Central Florida football team and his beloved Denver Broncos in the NFL. He also enjoys working out, watching movies, meeting new people and going to the beaches along the Gulf Coast.
