Overview
Project background
Heritage Springs is a master-planned residential community built over an active oil field. LDC designed the engineering and surveying for the oil production component — the wellheads, pipelines, access roads and surface facilities — so legacy operations could continue safely alongside hundreds of new homes.
The Challenge
What this project demanded
Maintaining productive oil operations on the same 53 acres being delivered as a residential community — a regulatory and life-safety problem as much as an engineering one.
Our Approach
How LDC delivered
- Designed consolidated well and pipeline corridors to shrink the operational footprint inside the community.
- Coordinated buffers, screening and access with the residential master plan so neither side blocked the other.
- Worked with the operator and the City to meet DOGGR/CalGEM and municipal requirements at every milestone.
Outcome
What got built
A 53-acre community where new homes and continuing oil operations coexist on the same site without compromising either.
