Bottom
line:
energy production
in the West, home to
more than 3 billion
barrels of proved oil
reserves (Western
Energy Alliance, 2011),
is vital to America’s
overall domestic energy
portfolio, and federal
lands are a key driver
of energy production
in the West. Recent
oil and natural gas
production on federal
lands is lagging
production growth on
non-federal resources
in the West.

2009 Wyoming and 2010
Montana federal natural
gas production numbers
contained accounting errors
and adjustments. <strong>The</strong> federal
production above is based on an
average of the State’s previous
and following year’s production.
Wyoming –average of 2008 and
2010. Montana- average of
2009 and 2011.
