Wyoming Puts Off Fracking Decision
State regulators will take more time to consider several proposed rule changes for the oil and gas industry, including more stringent reporting requirements regarding chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing

Members of the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which includes Gov. Dave Freudenthal, indicated that while they want the new reporting requirements to be user-friendly for the industry, the industry is unlikely to escape more stringent requirements altogether.
“There’s got to be something that allows us to say we have carefully evaluated this activity,” Freudenthal said.
It’s unlikely there will be another public hearing on the matter, according to the commission.
After hearing three hours of testimony Tuesday morning in Casper, the commission said it would leave the matter open for 15 days and possibly schedule some type of work session to go over the draft rule changes with the commission’s staff. The commission will likely make a final decision on the rules in June.
“I think we could continue this process for months and months trying to make this thing perfect, and I don’t think it would serve us well because we’d have people come in and try to do this for us,” said commissioner Bruce Williams.
