Investigation of Alleged Theft of Oil Condensate from BLM Leased Unit in Wyoming

We investigated allegations that a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) inspection revealed that a lease operator had removed oil condensate from a natural gas stream and sold it without proper volume reporting or payment of Federal royalties to the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR). 

 

We determined the lease operator did not submit reports to ONRR documenting the removal of oil condensate. After the lease operator became aware of the unreported oil condensate, the company adjusted reports they had previously submitted to ONRR.  

 

This is a summary of an investigative report that was issued to ONRR and BLM for any action deemed appropriate.
