Development to date includes 1,805
active wells and 394 plugged and
reclaimed wells within the CDW2 area.
Currently within the CBG project area,
369 wells are active and 105 wells have
been plugged and reclaimed. Existing
infrastructure developed for CDW2 and
CBG projects approved under previous
environmental documents include:
Arterial, collector, and well pad roads;
compressor stations; connecting and
sales pipelines; water wells; and
powerlines.
BP America Production Company, the
lead applicant representing itself,
Devon, and other leaseholders, has
proposed drilling and developing about
8,950 natural gas wells, including 100 to
500 coalbed natural gas wells, within
the Continental Divide—Creston (CDC)
project area. Wells would use a
combination of vertical and directional
drilling techniques. The proposal calls
for a 15-year construction period with a
30 to 40 year life of project development
and operational period.
Associated project facilities would
include additional roads, gas and water
collection pipelines, compressor
stations, water disposal systems, and an
electrical distribution system. During
the preparation of the EIS, any interim
development on public lands within the
CDC project area will require a detailed
environmental review by the BLM.
The purpose of the development is to
extract and recover natural gas from the
Continental Divide—Creston area for
distribution to consumers. This project
would help meet the need, goals and
objectives of the President’s National
Energy Plan. Natural gas consumption
in the United States is expected to
increase by 25% over the next decade.
The EIS will analyze the
environmental consequences of
implementing the proposed action and
alternatives. Identified agency concerns
include, but are not limited to direct,
indirect and cumulative effects to:
Surface and ground water resources; air
quality; wildlife populations and their
habitats; cultural and paleontological
resources; threatened and endangered
wildlife and plant species; and local and
regional socioeconomics. Other issues of
concern include access to private and
public land; impacts of road
development and transportation to
noxious weed control and livestock
grazing operations; ability to
successfully reclaim disturbed areas.
In addition to the Proposed Action,
the EIS will analyze the effects of a No
Action alternative. Contents for
alternatives being considered include: A
range of drilling surface densities;
phased development; a range of

mitigation measures; and best
management practices.
The proposed development is in
conformance with the 1990 Great Divide
Resource Management Plan (RMP). This
RMP is currently being revised under
the title Rawlins Resource Management
Plan. BLM released the Draft EIS for the
Rawlins RMP in December 2004.
