federal oil and gas leasing

Representative Harriet Hageman has introduced her first bill as Wyoming's Congresswoman.

The U.S. Department of the Interior announced plans to reform the oil and gas leasing process in order to prioritize the environment and local communities, impacting the cost of leases in Wyoming and eight other states.

The Petroleum Association of Wyoming is alleging that the Bureau of Land Management has cost Wyoming millions of dollars in revenue due to their failure to issue a notice for competitive lease sale by a 45-day deadline.

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon voiced his approval that a federal judge blocked the Biden administration's oil and gas lease moratorium

A federal judge in Louisiana has ordered an end to the Biden administration's suspension of new oil and gas leases on federal land and water.

Governor Gordon recently issued a statement in response to the Biden Administration's announcement that it plans to withdraw a Trump-era rule regarding the lowering of royalty payments on fossil fuels.

Gordon testified before the committee, in an attempt to combat the Biden Administration’s ban on oil and gas lease sales on federal lands.
