en.Wedoany.com Reported - The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) today released a final environmental impact statement evaluating a proposal by DCOR, LLC to conduct enhanced production operations, including hydraulic fracturing, at the Gilda Platform located on the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf offshore Ventura County, California.

The final document analyzes the potential environmental impacts of authorizing proposed treatments on up to 16 existing wells, as part of the operator's update to its Development and Production Plan. The report was prepared under the Department of the Interior's "Alternative Arrangements for NEPA Compliance in a National Energy Emergency," completed within 28 days of the Notice of Intent, incorporating technical reviews by BOEM subject matter experts and referencing public feedback on the scope of analysis.

BOEM Acting Director Matt Giacona stated that this final environmental impact statement is a science-based assessment reflecting contributions from tribes, partners, and community members involved in the review process. BOEM's responsibility is to ensure that any proposed offshore activity undergoes thorough and consistent review, with a clear commitment to environmental protection.

Issuance of the final environmental impact statement does not constitute approval or authorization of the proposed activities. BOEM will issue a separate Record of Decision after reviewing environmental and other relevant information.

The Gilda Platform (Outer Continental Shelf Lease Number P0216) is located in the Santa Barbara Channel approximately 8.8 miles southwest of Ventura, California. The platform was installed in 1981 in waters approximately 205 feet deep and has been in continuous operation since installation.
