BP’s Tight Gas in Wamsutter WY

I recently visited BP America’s tight gas facility in Wamsutter, Wyoming on a trip paid for by the American Petroleum Institute. I was the only representative of internet media on the trip. The other reporters on the trip were from AP-Cheyenne, Casper Star-Tribune, and Natural Gas Weekly. On the trip, we spent a day and a half listening to presentations and touring facilities. We also stayed overnight at the facility BP built for visiting workers.


In this post, I will tell a little about what I learned. I will also look at prospects for the future — both in terms of being able to expand operations and threats to maintaining current production levels.
