Perfect scores for Wyoming and California – albeit at opposite ends of the spectrum 😉

The Fraser Institute’s 2023 Canada-US Energy Sector Survey of senior executives in the upstream oil and gas sector provided data for assessing the competitiveness of US and Canadian jurisdictions. The resulting perception index (below) ranked Wyoming at the top with a score of 100.0 and California at the bottom with a score of 0.0. Perhaps one or more of the respondents have been mired in the California decommissioning quagmire. ☹
Former Minerals Management Service (MMS) Director Randall Luthi comments on Federal lease sale in Wyoming
Posted in energy policy, Uncategorized, tagged Gov. Gordon, Luthi, Wyoming on July 15, 2022| Leave a Comment »
This blog does not normally cover onshore leasing; pontificating about offshore issues is challenging enough😉. However, Randall Luthi – the former head of the MMS (and thus the US offshore program) – is now dealing with similar issues to those being experienced in the offshore sector.
“The bad news is the sale was 18 months late, was approximately 75% smaller than originally planned, had a huge number of state director deferrals, and offered many less-than-desirable leases,” testified Randall Luthi, who serves as chief energy advisor to Gov. Mark Gordon. “In summary, it was a long-awaited, but paltry sale.”
According to Luthi, the federal government controls approximately 67% of Wyoming’s mineral estate, and nearly 50% of its surface.
