The Pinedale Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) hosted an open house at the Sublette County Library in Pinedale on Thursday to discuss two new alternatives in the proposed plan for the Pinedale Anticline natural gas development project.

The BLM recently issued the Notice of Availability (NOA) for the Revised Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (RDSEIS) to include these two new alternatives.

The first additional alternative (D) provides for an expanded core area divided into five development areas, and a potential development area that surrounds the majority of the core. The second additional alternative (E) analyzes the proposed development without relaxing seasonal timing restrictions.

The BLM is analyzing a proposal for long-term development of natural gas resources in the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA).

The operators propose to conduct year-round drilling and completions in Concentrated Development Areas within the PAPA.

Production of natural gas recovered could be up to 25 trillion cubic feet (TCF), enough to heat 12.5 million homes for a span of 20 years. The royalties over the Life of Plan from the production of natural gas would generate approximately $16 billion, with half going to the State of Wyoming.
