Holy crap. All those little pock marks on the google map are pads for oil drilling sites? What a mess. And in the middle of it all is the BLM-managed Fantasy Canyon. Described on their website as “... about 10 acres in size, it contains some of the most unique geologic features in the world.” At least there’s no drilling in the canyon, yet.
Yep. In a lot of those areas it's every 5 acres. The first time I saw it I thought at first it was an issue with the photo being pixelated. Nope. The scale is really hard to understand until you see it at that scale. All of this is within the last roughly 15 years. I cannot believe how the BLM allows this to happen. Even if you are putting in the wells shouldn't we limit the impact? Does each pad really need to take 1-2 acres of land and totally destroy it?
