Excerpt from A Preliminary Report on the Utilization of Petroleum and Natural Gas in Wyoming The presence of oil and natural gas in Wyoming has been known for a long time, and many more or less sporadic attempts have been made to develop these resources commercially, but owing to a num ber of factors, such as inadequate transportation facilities, lack of capital, and poorly advised prospecting, it has been only within recent years that Wyoming has taken other than a minor part in oil production. With the successful development of the Salt Creek field north of Casper, however, prospecting received a new and vigorous impetus, and at the present time many rigs are being Operated at widely scattered localities in the endeavor to develop other equally remunerative territory. Gas has been discovered in the State in considerable quantity, notably in the Bighorn Basin, but owing to marketing limitations this resource has thus far not been utilized fully.
