The Petroleum Association of Wyoming (PAW) submitted comments to Secretary Doug Burgum as a part of the Department of Interior‘s regulatory review request for information. Given the fact that the federal government owns approximately 48% of Wyoming’s surface acreage and approximately 67% of Wyoming’s subsurface mineral estate, there are many issues of important to Wyoming’s oil and natural gas industry.

PAW’s comments focused on four main categories:

  1. Leasing
  2. Bonding
  3. Permitting
  4. Sage Grouse
