Welcome...
The state of Utah is rich in oil and natural gas and was ranked 11th in the country in
crude oil production
and 13th in
natural gas gross production
during 2016 (Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration). There are
approximately 11,700 producing oil and gas wells statewide.
The program’s mission is to promote the exploration, development and conservation of oil and natural gas resources in Utah while creating energy-related jobs, boosting local economies and generating oil and gas tax revenues. The demand for reliable and affordable energy is essential for the well-being of our state.
