Oil-Gas

Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis has penned a new article for Fox News, in which she addresses new concerns she has with President Biden's presence at the COP26 Summit in Scotland, where he will speak about environmental issues with other global leaders.

“The current de facto leasing moratorium is bad policy for Wyoming and contrary to law,” Governor Gordon said. “This is a key action to protect the interests of Wyoming and her people.”

Governor Mark Gordon has issued an Executive Order, directing state agencies to examine the impact, financial and otherwise, that the Biden Administration’s ban on new leases of oil and gas on federal land has had on Wyoming.

House Republicans, including Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY), have banded together to formulate a letter that they have sent President Joe Biden, regarding his planned moratorium on leasing and permitting drilling on public land.

Many of Wyoming’s elected officials, as well as professionals within Wyoming’s oil & gas industry are reacting to the recent news that President Joe Biden is set to announce a wide-ranging moratorium on new oil and gas leasing on U.S. land.

According to a press release from the Governor's office, the Energy Rebound Program 'will utilize up to $15 million in CARES Act funding to provide business relief targeted towards drilled, but uncompleted oil and gas wells (DUCs), wells that were unable to be recompleted, and plugging and abandonment (P&A) projects which could not be finished due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.'
