Under an economic stimulus program announced this week by Gov. Mark Gordon, Wyoming oil and gas operators will be eligible for COVID-19 pandemic relief totaling $15 million.
Individual operators could get up to $500,00 aid which will be funded from federal CARES Act money.
The Casper Star-Tribune reported the governor’s intent is to pump resources into well cleanup and finishing uncompleted oil and gas wells.
