*WSGS releases two new summary reports on Wyoming oil and gas activity and geologic hazards*

The Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) has released two new summary reports that provide a clear, public-facing snapshot of Wyoming’s energy activity and geologic hazards. The 2025 Oil, Gas, & CCUS Summary [ [link removed] ] continues the agency’s annual reporting on statewide energy trends in oil and gas exploration, and carbon sequestration, while the Wyoming Geologic Hazards Summary [ [link removed] ] offers an updated overview of key hazards and recent events across the state.

“These summaries are designed to be quick to read, easy to share, and grounded in the best available data,” says Ranie Lynds, interim State Geologist and WSGS Director. “Whether you’re tracking energy activity or planning around natural hazards, we want people to have a straightforward way to understand what’s happening in Wyoming—and where to go for more detail.”

The oil, gas, and CCUS summary report highlights recent production and drilling trends, price context, major activity patterns in Wyoming, and information on Class VI CO2 sequestration wells. The report also documents how Wyoming’s natural gas production is shifting as drilling has favored oil over gas wells in recent years, resulting in a near doubling of the proportion of gas produced as a secondary product of oil wells, since 2018.

The geologic hazards summary reviews major hazard categories related to earthquakes, landslides, the Yellowstone Volcanic System, and radon, and it directs readers to WSGS databases and interactive map tools. It also highlights recent events such as the June 2024 Big Fill Slide near Teton Pass and the July 2024 Biscuit Basin hydrothermal explosion in Yellowstone.

*Availability*

Both summaries are available as free downloads on the WSGS website: (2025 Oil, Gas, & CCUS Summary [ [link removed] ] [ [link removed] ]) and (Wyoming Geologic Hazards Summary [ [link removed] ]). Additional context, maps, databases, and related publications are also available at www.wsgs.wyo.gov [ [link removed] ], or by contacting the agency at [email protected].
