The Bureau of Land Management has announced the approval of the Randlett to Aurora Interconnect Pipeline in Uintah County. With this approval, Finley Resources can construct two 12-inch surface natural gas pipelines crossing less than a mile of public lands from existing wells to regional markets through the Timberline Compressor Station. “Approval of this pipeline addresses the national energy emergency and will help drive down energy costs,” shares BLM Green River District Manager Elijah Waters. The total pipeline will be approximately 2 miles long and originate from an existing lease on tribal lands. The announcement states that projects like this support Secretary’s Order 3417, “Addressing the National Energy Emergency,” by tackling the critical need for a reliable, diversified, growing, and affordable supply of energy. Additional information is available at the BLM National NEPA Register. For further information, please contact the Vernal Field Office at 435-781-4400.
