Lacq
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lacq is a town and commune of southwestern France, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques département, just northwest of the local capital of Pau. Population (1999): 658.
[edit] Economy
In modern times it has been based around the industrial uses of subsurface petroleum reserves, and since 1951 on the extraction and development of a very large natural gas reservoir underneath the city. Processing of the large quantities of hydrogen sulfide in the gas have made Lacq a center of sulfur production.
