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.

DJR/ Enduring Resources has submitted a Notice of Staking for the Carson 2512 F23 and K28 well pads, pipeline and access roads on BLM Surface. The pads are located near Huefano/Dzilth Na O Dith Hle (DZ) respectively. The onsite is scheduled for November 9, 2026. 
  • The F23  located at Sec 23 T 25N R 12W. The proposed project consists of one well pad with 10 wells. Surface disturbance would consist of one 9.35-acre well pad to accommodate the gas wells, reestablishing a pond  (to create a borrow pit), and One 522-foot-long access road would connect the well pad to an existing road. Lastly one pipeline is proposed to connect the well to existing/approved pipeline.
