Wyoming State Geological Survey, 2023, Oil and natural gas resources in Wyoming

The latest summary report by the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) offers a brief synopsis of the state’s oil and natural gas industry in the last 12 months. Highlights include the return of oil and gas production to pre-pandemic trends, the resumption of oil and gas lease sales by the Bureau of Land Management, and an increase in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells. The report also touches on the volatility of the global energy market this past year, and the uncertainty this creates for the oil and gas industry going forward.
