Wyoming petroleum industry production has rebounded steadily since its pandemic low of 164,000 barrels a day seen in May 2020, rising to production of 227,000, barrels per day in January.
Wyoming’s production in January was below the 302,000 barrels per day recorded in December 2019, just prior to the COVID pandemic, according to the federal Energy Information Agency. However, it was still much higher than the state’s historic low of 139,000 barrels per day recorded in 2005.
