Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered—Everything You Need to Know

Wyoming has a long history of oil and gas production, especially in the Powder River Basin, Green River Basin, and Wind River Basin. The state continues to see drilling activity, particularly focused on natural gas and oil reserves in the Niobrara Shale and Codell Formation. Wyoming ranks among the top 10 oil-producing states in the U.S., contributing significantly to national energy supply.

Some of the key oil and gas formations in Wyoming include:

  • Niobrara Shale – Known for oil and natural gas production, especially in the eastern part of the state.
  • Green River Basin – Rich in oil and gas, particularly around Pinedale and LaBarge fields.
  • Powder River Basin – Primarily a natural gas-rich basin with growing production.
  • Wind River Basin – Home to oil and gas reserves in various shale plays and formations.

The value of your Wyoming mineral rights depends on several factors, including:

  • Location: Proximity to active wells and drilling operations increases value.
  • Market Conditions: Fluctuations in oil and gas prices directly impact the value.
  • Production Potential: Areas with known reserves or active production typically offer higher values.
  • Lease Terms and Royalties: Favorable terms, such as high royalty rates and bonuses, increase mineral rights value.
  • Infrastructure and Access: Proximity to pipelines, refineries, and transportation infrastructure can enhance value.

Royalty rates for Wyoming mineral leases typically range from 12.5% to 20%, depending on the area and current market conditions. Rates tend to be higher in productive areas like the Powder River Basin and the Green River Basin, especially when production is ongoing.

In 2022, oil and gas production alone accounted for over 40% of Wyoming’s total property taxes, amounting to $879,820,930
