BLM approves natural gas Randlett to Aurora Interconnect Pipeline
VERNAL, Utah — The Bureau of Land Management approved the Randlett to Aurora Interconnect Pipeline in Uintah County. With this approval, Finley Resources, Inc., can construct two 12-inch surface natural gas pipelines crossing less than a mile of public lands from existing wells to regional markets through the Timberline Compressor Station.
"Approval of this pipeline addresses the national energy emergency and will help drive down energy costs," said BLM Green River District Manager Elijah Waters.
The total pipeline will be approximately 2 miles long and originate from an existing lease on tribal lands. Projects like this support Secretary’s Order 3417 titled, “Addressing the National Energy Emergency,” by tackling the critical need for a reliable, diversified, growing, and affordable supply of energy.
