WYOMING — The Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) has released the latest update to its interactive oil and gas map that anyone can access to view fields, piplines and a number of other features.
According to WSGS, continual updates are necessary to keep track of new oil and gas wells, changes to fields and modifications to facilities such as refineries and gas plants. Since the last 2021 map version, more than 175 new wells have come online in named oil or gas fields and more than 150 new wildcat wells were drilled.
“We want the map to be as convenient as possible, and we hope improving the select and export functionality will help users with their individual research,” says Rachel Toner, WSGS geologist and map creator.
The map provides visibility to a number of oil and gas fields in Pinedale and around Bridger-Teton National Forest. Additional map layers show natural gas pipelines in Jackson, Wyoming, and areas south of town.
The interactive map is free and can be accessed here.
