Ursa Resources Group held what it called an education meeting last night. The Battlement Mesa gathering was about a proposal for new natural gas drilling. Ursa wants to drill around 50 wells in the coming year or two.
If approved by a long list of agencies, the wells would be on two pads in Battlement Mesa. "The original plan in the PUD called for 14 pads in 1982,” says Don Simpson, Vice President of Business Development for Ursa. “The pads were designated, locations and everything, along with pipelines." Ultimately Ursa wants to develop 6 new pads. He and others answered many critical questions from neighbors concerned about possible impact on the community.
