**** New drilling of oil and gas wells remains down in the state. According to the last Wyoming State Geological Survey, only four rigs were operating at the end of December compared to just over 30 at the end of 2019. In August of 2020, Wyoming had no operating rigs. Oil and gas oversupplies have been impacted by lower levels of consumer demand both during and prior to the pandemic.
