Comments to the Bureau of Land Management Casper Field Office on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Converse County, Wyoming Oil and Gas Project

The Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) appreciates the opportunity to submit comments regarding the Converse County Oil and Gas Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and urges the BLM to adopt the Preferred Alternative (Alternative B). We also urge the agency to issue a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and Record of Decision (ROD) before the end of 2018. IPAA is the leading, national upstream trade association representing oil and natural gas producers and service companies. IPAA represents thousands of independent oil and natural gas explorers and producers, as well as the service and supply industries that support their efforts. Many IPAA member companies actively produce oil and natural gas from leases on federal lands in Wyoming and throughout the Intermountain West.
