The Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) has published its annual report, providing insights into the state’s uranium, oil, and natural gas industries, Buckrail reports.

The summaries, available for free on the WSGS website, outline key developments and trends in Wyoming’s energy landscape.

The report underscores Wyoming’s continued prominence in US uranium production and resource potential. A surge in national and international interest in nuclear energy, alongside rising uranium prices, has sparked increased activity across the state.

According to the WSGS, several uranium companies are ramping up their operations, with investments in exploration and workforce expansions underway.

The report highlights the resilience of Wyoming’s oil sector despite fluctuating commodity prices. The state continues to experience stable or modestly rising oil output, signaling a strong and consistent presence in the energy market.

However, the outlook for natural gas is more complex. New drilling has slowed, contributing to a measured decline in statewide natural gas production.

The WSGS encourages those seeking more detailed information to access the Uranium Summary and Oil & Gas Summary reports through its website. Additional resources and publications are available online or by contacting the agency directly at [email protected].
