Project Description

Chevron U.S.A. Inc. has applied for two (2) wells on an existing pad on Bureau of Land Management surface approximately 12 miles southwest of Loving, NM. The proposed wells would be drilled on an existing pad and there would be no new surface disturbance. Although these locations have been previously analyzed in the MDP EA (DOI-BLM-NM-P020-2016-1434-EA) and the Cicada Unit Well Pad 17, 18, and 19 EA (DOI-BLM-NM-P020-2022-0293-EA), the BLM elected to prepare an EA to consider additional impacts from the proposed wells. 

This EA will be available for a 30-day public comment period from January 7th, 2023 to February 6th, 2023.
