Description
This petition for review concerns the authority of the respondent Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (Commission or WOGCC) to impose certain restrictions on the drilling activities of petitioner Gulf Oil Corporation (Gulf) on federal land within this state. The Commission granted Gulfs application for a permit to drill a well on national forest land, subject to the condition that Gulf refrain from using its preferred access route through the village of Story, Wyoming. At issue is whether federal mining and environmental protection laws preempt this states statutes and rules which allow the Commission to condition federally authorized drilling activities on the basis of identified environmental concerns. Gulf also asserts that, the federal preemption question aside, the Commissions order in this case is not supported by substantial evidence. We will affirm.
