Parking in unit 21

[nocwalker]

Unit 21 has lots of oil and gas derek's from what I hear. I can see them from above on g-earth and Onx etc... Do you guys know if its ok to park in a back corner of one of those spots if its a spot we need to get into?

Thanks Bill V

There’s no active drilling there currently so there won’t be any drill rig derricks. I assume you mean well pads?

Access to well pads on BLM is controlled by the surface leasee. They control that small piece of land while in production. Also there may be pumper or water hauling activities going that puts your truck at risk. There is always the potential for gas to be around that could be ignited by your truck.

I would find another spot to park.

No oil company I know will give you are hard time unless they are reworking the hole and have to bring in a rig. That's the risk you take parking on one. Don't be a Adam Henry and you should be ok but technically they do have rights to the pad restricting access.

I've never had issues parking on one, just stay out of the way and it shouldn't be an issue.

I wouldnt worry about it... but you could park 100 yards down the road and not worry about it at all.

I work for the company that owns most of the wells in 21. Not a big deal at all to park on a pad, just please park out of the way and as far away from the well head, separator and meter building as possible, and be very careful not to back over or hit any piping for your own safety. Like mentioned above though, plenty of places to park off the pad.

Good luck on your hunt!

Thanks Just a Hunter. Yea, I didn’t know if there were lots of places to pull over or not and I would rather have the info and knowledge so we don’t create any problems. Local unwritten laws type things.

thanks man. Bill v
