GREELEY, CO – A company, building a huge oil well site in Greeley, says a pipeline will be in place to ship the oil before production starts, relieving nearby residents who feared noisy trucks would haul away the petroleum around the clock.
“Extraction Oil and Gas” says it always planned to build a pipeline at the 22-well Triple Creek project, and the plans are now complete.
Neighbors dispute that, saying “Extraction” first promised a pipeline but later backed off, citing costs.
The Triple Creek project prompted the neighbors to sue the state, alleging regulators didn’t do enough to protect them.
