The BLM recently released the environmental assessment that authorized Chevron to expand the Table Rock Field with development of up to 88 new wells. Those wells will include shallow oil wells, deep gas well and water injection wells. Serena Baker with the BLM says they are aware of the recent concerns of fracking and will take that into account as the project moves forward.
The wells be located just 40 miles east of Rock Springs. Another concern is recent reports that fracking could cause small tremors and earthquakes and what impact that might have for those in Rock Springs who have found sink holes in their neighborhoods from previous mining.
Chevron plans to develop the wells during the next 14 years.
