The Petroleum Association of Wyoming congratulates Doug Burgum on his confirmation as Secretary of Interior and looks forward to working with him to ensure Wyoming remains a leader in responsible energy production. As one of the nation’s top producers of energy from federal lands, Wyoming depends on policies from Washington that spur development on federal lands.

We are confident that Secretary Burgum will provide the regulatory certainty needed for continued investment, job creation, and innovation in Wyoming’s energy sector, and PAW stands ready to collaborate on policies that support responsible development of our natural resources.
