A Shell Oil Company rig that had been delayed in operations and was sitting at the corner of Ranney and First streets is now onsite and drilling, a company spokeswoman said Thursday.
Carolyn Tucker, community relations representative for Shell, said Rig 94 has been drilling for a “couple of weeks now” off Colorado Highway 317, about a mile east of another Shell drilling operation atop Harper Hill near Hamilton.
Tucker said Rig 94 was stalled by the Colorado Department of Transportation.

But, Tucker said those concerns have been alleviated.
