Gasco launches Utah project



By Upstream staff 

Gasco Production has submitted a proposal to the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to expand its operations in Utah.

The company plans to drill 1538 new wells through the year 2020 on its leases, which are primarly located on BLM-administered lands.

The project also includes mineral lease rights underlying private lands and lands administered by the state of Utah.

The project would include the construction of new roads to provide access routes to the new well sites. New buried pipelines would also be constructed as part of the project.

Estimated new surface disturbance associated with the construction of well pads, roads and pipelines would be about 10,302 acres.

The BLM has launched a scoping period in which the public is provided an opportunity to identify issues that should be addressed in a project-specific environmental impact statement being prepared by the agency.

The public scoping period ends on 13 March.
