Wyoming drillers lose interest, BLM trims sales

摘要

'Washington-The US Bureau of Land Management plans to auction in October a relatively light slate of land parcels in Wyoming for oil and natural gas production, which is part of a trend this year, the agency said August 18. Roger Alexander, a BLM spokesman, said oil and gas producers have asked to bid on fewer parcels in the state compared with recent years. As a result, he said, BLM plans to hold quarterly lease sales in the state in 2010 rather than auctions in alternating months, as has been the case since 1988.
