In the Americas, the Aztecs from the 14th through 16th centuries were the first documented people to use coal as a heating fuel. While records for Wyoming do not indicate if American Indians used coal, early trappers were known to have found it on the ground and used it for fuel. The first record of a coal de...

Oil and Gas Facts. Rare Earth Elements (REE). The Earth generates and stores heat known as geothermal energy. Sometimes, this renewable energy resource can be utilized in a number of ways to provide heat and electricity. When successfully implemented, geothermal energy produces low emissions, and can often operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Hot Springs State Park. Geothermal Uses in Wyoming.

Oil and Gas Facts. Rare Earth Elements (REE). There are two methods used to mine uranium conventional mining and the more modern alternative, in-situ recovery. In Wyoming, uranium mining is primarily done through in-situ recovery. However, there are a few conventional mines in the state planned for the future. Comeco Resources, Smith Ranch-Highland (Converse County), North Butte operation in Pumpkin Buttes, (Campbell County) (mines with yellowcake processing). History of In-situ Recovery. Conventional mi...

Oil and Gas Facts. Rare Earth Elements (REE). Wyoming is a leader for energy in the United States. In 2013, the state was first in coal production, first in uranium production, fifth in natural gas, and eighth in crude oil. Wyoming also. Has potential for alternative forms of energy, including wind, solar, and geothermal. All together, Wyoming produces about 10 quadrillion Btus (British thermal units) of energy each year. This energy is primarily used to provide the United States with electricity&#46...

Oil and Gas Facts. Rare Earth Elements (REE). Coal Resources and Reserves. Coal Production and Mining. Coal Maps and Projects. Coal Resources and Reserves. The question is often posed, How much coal does Wyoming have? States that the PRB of Wyoming and Montana contain an estimated in-place coal resource of 1.16 trillion short tons of coal. Of that total, the recoverable coal is 162 billion tons (BT). This is similar to measured and indicated coal, or the Demonstrated Reserve Base of coal....For the Wyomi...

Oil and Gas Facts. Rare Earth Elements (REE). Uranium ore deposits are economically recoverable concentrations of uranium within the Earth's crust. Such deposits in Wyoming are found in porous and permeable sedimentary rocks in the Powder River, Great Divide, Wind River, and Shirley basins. Additionally, there are significant uranium deposits in the western Black Hills area in northeastern Wyoming, the Little Mountain area of the northern Bighorn Range, and the eastern Greater Green River Basin. In the e...
