Description

OIG investigated an oil and gas company operating on Federal leases in Wyoming for knowingly submitting inaccurate production reports to ONRR. During our investigation, company representatives discovered that the company had submitted inaccurate Oil and Gas Operations Reports (OGORs). The company representatives also admitted that they took unallowable beneficial use deductions in 2011. The company amended its OGORs previously submitted to ONRR and corrected the misreporting. We provided our report to BLM and ONRR for appropriate administrative action.
