The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Farmington Field Office has received a withdrawal letter regarding a right-of-way (ROW) application for the proposed Piñon Gathering System project (known as the Piñon Pipeline project).
The letter stated that due to current market conditions Saddle Butte San Juan, LLC has decided to withdraw their application. Therefore, the BLM will no longer consider the project.
The system would have included a gathering line ROW of approximately 49.5 miles and a mainline ROW of approximately 98.5 miles in length. The proposed crude oil pipeline route would have followed routes crossing Federal lands, the Navajo Nation, State of New Mexico lands, and fee lands from Lybrook, New Mexico, to a proposed rail terminal located near Thoreau, New Mexico.
