Document Description
The applicant seeks approval of a Land Use Permit to allow the establishment of a gas and oil well pad on an agriculturally zoned parcel. The project proposes to use a temporary, portable drilling rig to drill and explore for the accumulation of oil and/or gas within the Old Brentwood Oil and Gas Field. Three exploratory wells will be drilled, and if oil and/or gas is found in commercial quantities, casing will be installed and a smaller completion rig will be moved in and a permanent production well will be installed. Exploratory drilling time is estimated to take approximately 20 days per well with continuous 24 hour per day, 7 days a week operation until completion. If commercial quantities are found, installation of a completion rig will take an additional 30 days, and the rig will operate about 12 hours per day. The proposal also includes the installation of a gas pipeline, which will run approximately 4-feet under the existing access road and will be 3-inches in diameter. The total length of this pipeline will be approximately 3,350 linear feet, though most of it will be within the city limits of Antioch. The proposed wellsite will be 60,000 square feet and located approximately 463 feet south and 525 feet west of the northeast corner of the subject property. The total area for the proposed facility is less than one percent of the property’s total area of 160 acres.
