Controversial Wyoming Oil, Gas Project in PRB Moving Forward After Favorable BLM Decision

摘要

A Bureau of Land Management (BLM) decision to allow year-round oil and natural gas drilling within 1.5 million acres of fed-eral and Wyoming state land has ended a six-year stalemate among a consortium of producers and regulators. The BLM decision allows the explo-ration and production (E&P) companies to drill on 1,500 multi-well pads within the proposed Converse County Oil and Gas Project area of the Powder River Basin (PRB) for 10 years.
