Arapahoe County is handing residents the mic on a major new oil and gas proposal in the unincorporated county. Bison IV Operating LLC has filed a final application for a project called Remora Pad 6 that would place production equipment, pipelines, and as many as 16 wells on a site south of Interstate 70. County staff say the application is in final review and that a decision will be made after public input is collected. The public comment period runs through 11:59 p.m. Feb. 11.
What’s proposed at Remora 6
According to Arapahoe County, Bison IV Operating LLC has submitted a complete application for Record AE24-006, known as Remora Pad 6, that would include up to 16 wells, production equipment, and pipelines, plus a new access road. The application materials place the site in an area of agricultural and rangeland uses with existing oil and gas development nearby. County staff will evaluate the proposed equipment, pipeline routing, and access as part of the final review.
Where the pad would sit
The proposed site is legally described as the Southwest‑Northwest quarter of Section 6, Township 4 South, Range 63 West, and sits just south of I‑70 between North Manila Road and North Brick Center Road. Access would be from East County Road 6 (East Sixth Avenue) via Schumaker Road/N County Road 121 north of the site. Public well records show several Remora‑labeled wells clustered in that area, indicating the proposal would expand activity in an already developed oil and gas zone; those records can be viewed on DrillingEdge.
How to weigh in and what happens next
Public comment is being accepted exclusively through the county's online form through 11:59 p.m. Feb. 11; the form allows written comments and file uploads, according to Arapahoe County. County staff say they will review the application materials and final public comments before deciding on the Remora 6 application, according to a Facebook post from Arapahoe County Government. Questions about the project can be sent to [email protected].
What neighbors should watch for
Neighbors and landowners typically focus on traffic, noise, light, and pipeline routing when oil and gas projects move forward, and any conditions or mitigation the county requires would be reflected in the final decision. Public comments become part of the review record that staff and decision-makers consider, so detailed submissions and supporting documents can matter. Those with strong views, whether in favor or opposed, can use the online form to make sure their concerns are included in the record.
