PRICE, Utah –The Bureau of Land Management Price Field Office is seeking public comment on an environmental assessment for the IACX Energy Project, which proposes to drill one vertical exploratory well under its Federal lease located approximately 19 miles northwest of Green River, Utah. The 14-day public comment period runs from July 13 to July 27.
"We are committed to hearing from all area stakeholders about decisions that may affect local public land resources,” said District Manager, Gary Torres. “The BLM values public opinion as we seek to balance the development of important minerals while also protecting the resources entrusted under our care."
Flow testing conducted on the proposed well site will determine whether it contains both a sufficient quantity and quality of gas. If confirmed, then IACX will undertake additional exploration activities. If determined that the gas resource is not viable, IACX will plug the well, remove all equipment, and restore the site to its current condition in accordance with the district reclamation guidelines.
