Update From Visiting Wyoming's "Gem City"

Last week, I spent a few days in the "Gem City" – Laramie, Wyoming. I learned quite a bit during my time there, including these little tidbits, some relevant to the oil and gas industry, and some not:

• Laramie was named for French trapper, Jacques LaRamie, who disappeared in the mountains in the early 1800s.
• The Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("WOGCC") issued its September 2016 Supervisor's Report – which can be found here. Takeaways from the WOGCC September 2016 Supervisor's Report are as follows:

1. The number of applications for permit to drill ("APD") in Wyoming have significantly increased!
2. There were 588 APDs received in July and a whooping 866 received in August.
