USGS confirms massive gas reserves under federal land in western Colorado

By Dennis Webb | The Daily Sentinel A new U.S. Geological Survey national report points to the large amount of estimated undiscovered natural gas lying below federal lands in western Colorado, and two recent assessments zero in on newly estimated undiscovered oil and gas in a region including parts of northwest Colorado. The USGS recently released a report on undiscovered oil and gas resources in formations under federally managed public lands. It estimated that nationally there are technically recoverable resources of 29.4 billion barrels of oil and 391.6 trillion cubic feet of gas. That’s enough oil to supply all of the country’s needs for four years at the current rate of consumption, and enough gas to meet national needs for 12 years.

Boebert revives American Energy Act to push lower costs, energy independence

By Abraham Jewett | Fox31 DENVER (KDVR) — U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert introduced a new version of her American Energy Act bill this week. Boebert said the goal of the American Energy Act is to streamline permitting processes for oil and gas producers. The thrice-elected congresswoman said the bill will allow American energy companies to focus on creating jobs and lowering costs. “Our American oil & gas producers need to get back to what they do best: creating jobs, lowering energy costs for American families and small businesses, and producing the cleanest natural gas in the world,” Boebert said in a statement. The legislation would require the Department of Interior to continue processing applications for permits to drill under a valid existing lease, regardless of ...
