Recent advancement in drilling technology may mean significant numbers of new wells in Wyoming’s Green River and Wind River basins, in addition to the large Pinedale Anticline (pictured) and Jonah fields. Coalbed natural gas production in the Powder River Basin has declined since 2009 after a decade-long boom. The first oil well drilled in Wyoming was at Dallas Dome in 1883, followed by Salt Creek. Salt Creek is the most productive field in Wyoming’s history, producing over 696 million barrels since 1889. Wyoming’s oil boom peaked in 1970, but production has been increasing again since 2009, in part due to enhanced oil recovery techniques. Wyoming ranks ninth in production of crude oil in the nation.
