As of September 16th, 2023, the Wyoming DEQ proposes to deny the permit for the Class VI well. https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WYDEQ/bulletins/37091a7 The DEQ states that North Shore Energy has not fulfilled requests for information which would render the application complete.

North Shore Energy, LLC ("North Shore") and an unnamed Development Partner are jointly exploring the development of an ammonia facility and associated carbon capture and sequestration system adjacent to North Shore's existing natural gas production facilities at the Painter field near Evanston, Wyoming.

The Project would leverage the existing infrastructure at the Painter field, benefit from significant existing Nitrogen reserves, and permanently sequester captured CO2 in depleted natural gas wells at the same location. Compression and gathering systems are in place and operating currently and will be repurposed for CCS.
