Council hears request to extend start-of-drilling window for EW Craig No. 9 well
Summary
Hillcorp requested the council extend the 90-day drilling start window for the EW Craig No. 9 oil-well permit until July 1, 2025; the company noted the permit was issued in October, which began the 90-day clock.
City staff introduced Alvaro Rosales, a regulatory analysis analyst for Hillcorp, who asked the council to consider extending the start-of-drilling window for the EW Craig No. 9 permit until July 1, 2025.
Staff explained the permit has a 90-day period to begin drilling once it was issued. Because the permit was not issued until October, Hillcorp asked the city to grant an extension that would move the start date to July 1, 2025. Council members asked about insurance and other pre-construction requirements; the company representative said insurance would be updated as needed to cover the extended period.
The council discussed the extension request; the transcript records the company’s request and council questions but does not record a roll-call vote in the excerpt provided.
