This Federal grant is provided to the Jicarilla Apache Nation to conduct a comprehensive study of the hydrocarbon potential beneath their designated ‘pristine’ area. This ecologically sensitive region, intentionally set aside by the tribe to limit development, has never been subject to oil and gas leasing. The primary purpose of this grant is to enable the tribe to gain a thorough understanding of their potential oil and gas resources. Additionally, the grant supports the development of innovative and sustainable exploration and extraction practices designed to significantly minimize surface disturbance and mitigate environmental impact, ensuring the preservation of this valuable tribal land while responsibly exploring its energy reserves.
