The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rock Springs Field Office (RSFO) is releasing the environmental assessment (EA), finding of no significant impact (FONSI), and decision record (DR) authorizing Chevron U.S.A., Inc. to expand the Table Rock Field with development of up to 88 new wells.
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. The project straddles the boundaries of the Rock Springs and Rawlins field offices, with the RSFO acting as project lead. The Table Rock Field was developed in 1945, and presently has 100 producing wells, along with a gas processing plant operated by Chevron. The new development includes a combination of vertical and directional drilling of 33 shallow oil wells, 20 deep gas wells, and up to 35 water injection wells at depths ranging from 7,000 to 15,000 feet depending on geologic formation.
