BLM Kemmerer Seeks Comments on Exploratory Gas Well
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Kemmerer Field Office is seeking public comments on a proposed exploratory gas well and associated developments.
Gary-Williams Production Company (Gary-Williams) has applied for authorization to drill one exploratory gas well (GWPC #33-14D), develop the associated production facilities and construct an access road and pipeline in Lincoln County, Wyo. The proposed project is located west of U.S. Highway 189 in Section 14, Township 22 North, Range 117 West, approximately 22 miles northwest of Kemmerer. An additional well may be directionally drilled off of the same pad pending production results of the first well.
The well would be drilled on BLM-administered public land and would include development of an access road, off-site production facilities and a gas pipeline in the event that the well is producing. The proposed well pad location was chosen to accommodate two wells that could be directionally drilled from a common pad utilizing the same production facilities.
The scoping notice for this proposed project can be found at: http://www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/info/NEPA/kfodocs/gwpc.html. If you are interested in participating in the process and have concerns, issues, or alternatives you would like addressed, please send written comments postmarked by July 2, 2009. When providing comments, the writer's name and address may become part of the public record.

The BLM manages more land - 256 million acres - than any other Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
