RE: AE25-004 –State Blanca West at Lowry Ranch – Administrative Energy Use By Special Review Application

Dear Stakeholder,

You have expressed an interest in receiving updates on Oil and Gas Development in Arapahoe County.

The applicant, Crestone Peak Resources LLC's (dba Civitas), has submitted an application for State Blanca West at Lowry Ranch.

The applicant proposes 18 oil and gas wells within a 16.82-acre pad site on a 21.52-acre agriculture parcel located about a half mile south of East Quincy Avenue and a half mile north of East Reservoir Dam Road. The site is located within the Box Elder watershed tributary and lies outside of the floodplain.

A new gravel private road will access the site. Drilling operations will occur in two phases, with the first eight wells drilled and completed, followed by the drilling and completion of the remaining 10 wells. Construction of the pad will take about eight weeks for the first phase.

A wildlife friendly fence will be built around the site. Locked gates will be installed at the access road/well pad entrance after the wildlife fence is built. The fencing and gates will provide security for the life of the well.

Comments can be submitted through this online form through Oct. 24, 2025.
