Serena Baker with the Bureau of Land Management Rawlins Field Office says the public is invited to an open house for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for a proposed expansion of natural gas development in Carbon and Sweetwater counties on Jan. 15th from 4-7 p.m. at the Jeffrey Memorial Community Center located at 315 W. Pine Street in Rawlins.
The project would develop up to 8,950 additional natural gas wells, including 100 to 500 coal bed natural gas wells, using a combination of vertical and directional drilling techniques, during the next 15 years. It could produce an estimated 12.02 trillion cubic feet of natural gas during the project's anticipated 30 to 40 year life. It is located on 1.1 million acres with an eastern boundary approximately 25 miles west of Rawlins and the western boundary approximately 50 miles east of the city of Rock Springs. BP American Production Co. is the project applicant.
The comment period is being extended from 45 to 90-days. Written comments will now be accepted until March 6th. For more information call 307-328-4294.
