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.
“Despite volatile market conditions, overall, it was a positive year for the oil and gas industry in Wyoming,” says WSGS director and Wyoming State Geologist, Dr. Erin Campbell.
The Consensus Revenue Estimating Group, known as CREG, last fall predicted 90 million barrels of crude oil would be produced in Wyoming in 2022. As the final data from last year trickle in, Wyoming appears on track to meet that forecast. More than half of the state’s total oil production will come from Converse and Campbell counties in the prolific Powder River Basin.
