Input sought for pipeline drilling east of Bayfield

San Juan National Forest announces that Petrox Resources has proposed the development of existing Fruitland coal-bed natural-gas leases east of Bayfield on San Juan National Forest land in the HD Mountains-Fosset Gulch area.

The proposal includes the construction of an 8.6-mile pipeline, a gas well pad and the re-drilling of two existing gas wells. Horizontal drilling techniques are proposed to be used for multiple wells from each pad.

The Forest Service will accept input to ensure issues are considered for an environmental analysis document. To view the scoping letter and map, visit https://bit.ly/2Q2qj85.
