for oil and gas development submitted by Seneca Resources Corporation (Seneca) for the Hoyt/Iroquois/Oil Inc. federal mineral lease (CALA033358) located Section 7, T11N, R23W, SBBM. The proposed development area is located on public lands containing subsurface minerals administered by the BLM within the Midway Sunset Oilfield. Federal mineral lease CALA033358 is a moderately developed, active lease with numerous oilfield infrastructure including access roads, powerlines, pipelines, well pads and oil wells, pumping units, heater treaters, and stock tanks. The target reservoir of the Pioneer Project is the Miocene aged Monarch Sands, consisting of heavy oil (12 degree API) that would require steam stimulation to produce. Seneca proposes to drill approximately 54 wells, consisting of both oil producing and steam injection wells. The project would also include installation of roads, well pads, flowlines, surface and/or underground electrical lines, pumping units, and other infrastructure necessary for processing oil and gas.
