 Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Powder River Basin holds nearly 25 % of total US coal bed methane
The Powder River Basin could see 3.6 bn cfpd of maximum production once a new federal environmental impact statement is on record by mid-February, said Don J. Likwartz, state oil and gas supervisor of the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
But Likwartz complains that Powder River Basin coal bed methane development is hampered by a number of myths that hamper production -- mostly from environmental groups and a handful of "Eastern" landowners who claim the production has fouled their lands and water, he said.
On the positive side, drilling in the Powder River Basin has brought as much as $ 10 bn to the coffers of Wyoming, "putting the state in the fl for the last two years," he said.

In desperation, the small cattlemen and homesteaders of the Powder River country formed an organization of their own, and gave it the impressive title of Northern Wyoming Farmers and Stock Growers Association.
