This grant is for the Jicarilla Apache Nation to conduct a comprehensive geologic oil and gas assessment study of the Lewis Shale Formation. The primary purpose is to evaluate the potential for producing new oil and gas reserves from this widespread shale, which lies beneath the Jicarilla Apache Reservation. The assessment will specifically investigate the viability of utilizing horizontal drilling technology to access these resources. As a single-source award, this initiative empowers the Jicarilla Apache Nation to thoroughly explore and potentially unlock valuable energy reserves within their territory. This strategic study is essential for understanding the subsurface geology, guiding future resource management, and fostering economic opportunities for the Nation.
