Oil and gas operations have been ongoing in Arapahoe County for the last 40 years. In the last five years heightened activity, due to the Niobrara Shale play, more public interest, and potential impacts of oil and gas development closer to homes required the County to proactively create an area on this website for the public to obtain additional information.

Arapahoe County provides information about oil and gas operations in the County, including:

• Oil & Gas Activity Reports and Mapping Resources
• Oil & Gas Interactive Map (includes all land development cases under review unincorporated Arapahoe County)
• Questions/Concerns, Answers, and Contact Information
• Oil & Gas Rules and Regulations
