BLM Rock Springs Holds Scoping on Desolation Road Natural Gas Project

The Bureau of Land Management Rock Springs Field Office is holding a public scoping period before preparing an environmental analysis on a proposal by Samson Resources to develop up to three new natural gas wells on a single well pad in the Desolation Road Unit. Serena Baker says that the Desolation Road 11-34V project encompasses about 61 acres of primarily federal land, with a small amount of privately owned land, about 35 miles northwest of Baggs in Sweetwater County.






The improved access road and pipeline would be co-located and would tie into an existing road and pipeline to minimize surface disturbance. The maximum surface disturbance is anticipated to be around 61 acres. The wells would be developed during the next three years, with the life of the project anticipated to be between 40 to 50 years. 






Written comments will be accepted until Sept. 20th. For more information, call (307) 352-0325.
