Farmington Field Office Scheduled Onsite Inspections
What are Onsite Inspections?
Before approval of an application for permit to drill (APD), an onsite inspection will be conducted with the operator to further identify site-specific resource protection concerns and requirements. Prior to, or in conjunction with, the onsite inspection, the surface management agency will advise the operator if any special inventories or studies are required, such as for cultural resources or threatened and endangered species.

BLM has scheduled an onsite visit for the proposed Canyon Largo Unit 2506-30L Wells Project
The Canyon Largo Unit (CLU) 2506-30L Wells Project would consist of one 8.09-acre well pad to accommodate eight new oil and gas wells. One 224.2-foot-long access road would connect the well pad to Rio Arriba County Road 523. One 30,165.92-foot-long temporary surface layflat waterline is proposed to connect the CLU 2506-30L to the existing/approved CLU 2407-03F water supply well in Section 3 of T24N R7W. Hilcorp is additionally proposing one 902.4-foot-long buried well-connect pipeline corridor. The project, as it is currently proposed, would be fully within the Canyon Largo Unit and would have no components requiring rights-of-way.
Meeting Location: We will meet to review the project in the field on April 29, 2026. Attendees should meet at the Sinclair Gas Station on US Hwy 550 (36.242662, -107.703593), also known as the 44 Store, at 9 a.m. We will then proceed to the project location as a group.
