GREEN RIVER -- Texas-based Veritas DGC Land Inc. is seeking federal permission for another 3D mapping project in natural-gas rich southwest Wyoming.

Bureau of Land Management officials said Veritas recently filed a Notice of Intent with the agency's Pinedale Field Office to conduct geophysical seismic mapping operations just west of LaBarge in portions of Sublette and Lincoln counties.

The agency is beginning work on an environmental study of the proposed Lake Mountain 3D Project, said BLM project leader Bill Lanning.

BLM officials also last week approved a similar 3D mapping operation sought by Veritas earlier this year for an area north of Rock Springs in Sweetwater County. The company will begin work on the Simpson's Gulch geophysical project in September.

Lanning said the Lake Mountain project area lies within the Big Piney/LaBarge natural gas fields, which includes the South Piney fields.

The project would adjoin Veritas' LaBarge 3D mapping project which the BLM permitted in May.

Veritas has done extensive 3-D mapping work in southwest Wyoming over the past four years, including several major, controversial projects in the upper Green River Basin. Veritas has also done work in the Jonah fields in Sublette and northern Sweetwater counties as well.

I did that kind of work. I don't think it's much to worry about.
