This book was released on 1994 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies by the Gas Research Institute (GRI), National Petroleum Council (NPC), and others indicate that as traditional gas producing hubs in the East and the Mid-West decline in the coming years, western basins will take on a more prominent role in the United States gas supply portfolio. In 1993, the Gas Research Institute and the Department of Energy (DOE) published the Atlas of Major Rocky Mountain Gas Reservoirs in this major gas producing region. The Atlas identified the Greater Green River Basin (GGRB) in southwestern Wyoming as having the largest gas resource potential in the central Rocky Mountain region. The Greater Green River Basin, however, is rich in other competing natural resources and is dominated by federally owned and administered lands. Both can potentially impact the access and development of the natural gas resource and severely alter future gas production goals from the basin. Accessibility to the Greater Green River Basin Gas Supply, Southwestern Wyoming provides a visual, technical, and statistical definition of the major competing resources (gas, oil, coal, trona, wilderness, wildlife) and land use conflicts on public lands. The report attempts to quantify the impact of these conflicts on future gas production and development in southwestern Wyoming. GRI believes this report will provide benefit to the gas industry, land use planners, and to those who support efficient and rational management of this region's vast gas resource.
