Methane project gets approval

The Associated Press

The Bureau of Land Management has approved a small natural gas drilling project in southwest Wyoming.

Houston-based Burlington Resources Oil and Gas Co. will drill 31 additional exploration and development wells within the Fontenelle natural gas fields about 12 miles southeast of LaBarge in Sweetwater County.

Ted Murphy, BLM assistant field manager, said the agency found no significant environmental impact from the project as long as certain protective measures are taken. Drilling would begin in May and would continue over the next three years, depending on the success of the drilling program.
