Project Description

Bison IV Operating LLC submitted ten applications for permit to drill (APDs) to the BLM Royal Gorge Field Office (RGFO) for one well pad in Weld County, and may submit two more for a total of twelve APDs. These wells would be drilled and completed in fee and federal mineral estate, from a surface location on private surface over fee minerals (fee/fee/fed). The well pad is pre-existing, but a pad expansion and upgrade of the access road is planned to support the drilling of the wells. The well pad is located approximately 18.5 miles northwest of Briggsdale in Weld County, Colorado. The  federal mineral estate that would be accessed by the wells is leased and subject to oil and gas development.
