A GIS Analysis of Technically Recoverable Natural Gas and Oil from Challenged Lease Parcels in Utah PDF

On December 19, 2008, BLM issued leases covering close to 150,000 acres in Utah. Plaintiffs have challenged 77 of those leases, totaling around 103,000 acres. The potential natural gas and oil under these contested leases in Utah amounts to a miniscule amount of energy. At best (not taking into account prices or other obstacles to development), these leases could provide 0.02% of annual oil and just 0.5% of annual natural gas consumption.
