Currently, Chevron has 39 natural gas wells on its 40,000 acres north of De Beque, Colorado. During the next 15-20 years, the company may drastically increase their number of wells in this area to 2,000 or more. Chevron's drilling program could include about 80 company employees and 500 contractors associated with six drilling rigs, said company spokeswoman Kristi Pollard. Those wells would likely continue producing another 25 or 30 years after being drilled, meaning Chevron expects to be involved with gas production th the De Beque area for the next half-century, investing som $7.3 billion over the life of the project, Pollard said.
Some positive news, is that Chevron is recongnizing the effects of its projects will have on the town, and is working to adress them. The company has donated money to the school district, which plans to double in in the next 5 years.
