Forcenergy begins permitting for Tomcat at West Foreland
Forcenergy Inc. has begun permitting for its Tomcat exploration project near existing gas production on the West Forelands.
As many as four onshore oil and gas exploration wells may be drilled. A 3.5 mile access road will be constructed primarily within Native lands and will run southerly from the 1 West Forelands well site.
Gravel will be obtained from local gravel sources.
The facility will consist of equipment associated with an exploratory drill rig including five diesel-electric generators, two rig boilers, a rig heater, a well test flare and two fuel storage tanks.
Work on the project is expected to begin in June.
The company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy Feb. 15.
