This map depicts the existing oil & gas infrastructure for Prospect Energy LLC, who had its right to do business in Colorado canceled as part of an agreement with the ECMC to avoid $1.7MM in fines for a large number of violations at its sites north of Ft. Collins in Larimer County. Each of the 50 active wells depicted below (labeled with its name, status, and spud date) will be added to the State’s Orphan Well program to be plugged and abandoned by the State of Colorado.
The data was compiled using GIS data downloaded from the Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) web site at https://ecmc.state.co.us/ on August 15, 2024.
