CHEYENNE – Today, the Bureau of Land Management issued a decision that could generate billions of dollars for the American public and will strengthen domestic energy production and independence.
The Record of Decision for the Converse County Oil and Gas Project allows the development of up to 5,000 new oil and natural gas wells within a 1.5 million-acre project area in Converse County, Wyoming, over the life of the project.
“Today’s announcement aligns with the Department’s commitment to responsibly developing our nation’s vast energy resources,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Casey Hammond. “Projects like this strengthen the energy independence of the United States while creating jobs and fostering economic development.”
