BLM Taking Comments On Proposed Expansion of Wells 40 Miles East of Rock Springs

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rock Springs Field Office (RSFO) has initiated a 30-day public comment period on the environmental assessment (EA) for a Chevron U.S.A., Inc. proposal to expand the Table Rock Field with development of up to 88 new oil, gas and water injection wells. Serena Baker with the BLM says the Table Rock Field encompasses 13,644 acres of primarily federal and private land, with a small amount of state-owned land, approximately 40 miles east of Rock Springs, Wyo. in Sweetwater County. 






Eighteen existing wells would also be converted to water injection wells.  Chevron plans to develop the wells during the next 14 years. 






Written comments should be received by Dec. 14th.
