Conner and Wakeman Pads

The Conner and Wakeman Pads are two approved oil and gas locations in Adams County, Colorado, sited along East 136th Avenue between Powhaton Road and Gun Club Road. 

Dunamis became the operator of these sites in October 2025 through the acquisition of assets previously owned by Providence Energy.   

The Conner and Wakeman sites were originally permitted and approved in late 2018 and early 2019. Because these sites were never constructed, and because state and local regulations evolved significantly in the years that followed, new permits were required before development could proceed.   

Under these updated and more stringent rules, the permitting process included formal community engagement and a thorough evaluation of potential impacts on public health, safety, the environment, and wildlife. In October 2022, a neighborhood meeting was  held as part of the Adams County permitting process.

Detailed plans were submitted to the state and county authorities, including:   

• An alternative location analysis  

• A cumulative impacts evaluation   

• Individual noise, light, dust, and odor mitigation plans  

• A traffic impact analysis  

The Conner and Wakeman Pads were approved at public hearings in March and April of 2025. Sixteen individual well permits were approved for each location later that year.
