WHOPPING WAMSUTTER

摘要

A giant gas play is in full swing in the eastern part of Wyoming's Washakie Basin.The Wamsutter area,in Carbon and Sweetwater counties,is buzzing with activity.And what's surprising is that the lead operator is a multinational oil company.Last fall,London-based BP announced that it would spend 2.2 billion in the Wamsutter area.BP plans to drill 2,000 wells during the next 15 years,and by the end of the decade expects to double its net Wamautter production from 125-to 250 million cubic feet of gas per day.The drilling program will add 450 million barrels of oil equivalent to BP's reserves.
