BLM Rock Springs Opens Scoping on Horseshoe Basin Oil and Gas Project

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rock Springs Field Office (RSFO) is launching a 30-day public scoping period prior to preparing an environmental assessment on a proposal by Devon Energy Production Company, L.P. Serena Baker says the proposal is to develop up to 20 new oil or gas wells within the Horseshoe Basin Unit.






The new project proposes drilling two wells per year utilizing horizontal or vertical drilling at depths ranging from 8,500 to 11,500 feet depending on the geologic formation.  The project would also include access roads, pipelines, and power lines. Devon plans to minimize surface disturbance by co-locating new wells on existing well pads, or by establishing multi-well pads, when possible.






Written comments should be received by June 4th, and may be submitted by fax, email, mail, or hand-delivery during regular business hours to the Rock Springs Field Office at 280 Highway 191 north in Rock Springs.
