Project Description

The BLM Carlsbad Field Office is proposing to allow Ameredev to construct, operate, maintain, drill, 63 horizontal oil wells.  In order to construct, operate, maintain, drill, 63 wells with a closed loop system, 16 surfaced well pads would be needed.  Ameredev would strip the available topsoil from the well pad area and stockpile it adjacent to the well pad edge. The wells site would then be leveled and surfaced with mineral material.  Ameredev would take about 30 days to drill the proposed well.  After the proposed well is drilled and completed. Ameredev plans to construct buried pipelines, access roads and electric lines.  All areas not needed for production would be reclaimed by removing the caliche, recontouring the area, spreading the stockpiled topsoil over the area, and seeding the area
