Thank you @westgov for the invitation to participate.

During WGA’s 2022 Winter Meeting, panelists w/ @ENERGY @UtahOGM & @USARareEarth, discussed how the U.S. could lead the global #ElectricVehicle market by strengthening a domestic #SupplyChain for #CriticalMinerals. Read more to see their comments ow.ly/5bpL50M2ALS



Thanks for the tips @UtahOED!

It's officially fall (even though it might not feel quite like it yet). Here are some tips to help you save energy this season. energy.gov/energysaver/fa… #utahOED #HappyFall #tuesdaytips

If heading out to recreate this Memorial Day weekend, watch out for abandoned mines. Old mines can be covered by sagebrush, old boards, etc and difficult to see. Mines can be intriguing but can contain dangerous gases, unstable structures, and explosives. #stayoutstayalive

Getting out in the field assists OGM board members gain a better understanding of oil and gas operations. Thanks for the tour @UtahPetroleum @ovintiv and XCL

Today we hosted the board of @UtahOGM for a site tour. We visited @Ovintiv’s drill rig about to reach terminal depth and XCL‘s new E Frack multi well pad. Many thanks to Ovintiv and XCL and to the division and board for making this possible.

Deputy Director Dana Dean was awarded the John E. Willson Distinguished Alumni Award from the U of U’s Mining Engineering Program. She is the first female awardee since its creation in 2000. She won in 2021 but due to Covid, didn’t receive the award in person until now.

The police teamed with @UtahOGM at the end of December and in January, 2010 began cataloging and visiting hundreds of mines in proximity to PET that Josh Powell might plausibly have accessed.

Did you know? Electric vehicles require SIX TIMES more #minerals than gas-powered vehicles. #Mining is an essential part of the clean energy transition! #SupportMining

It's National Bat Week! Did you know that over half of the bat species in the US use mines for their homes?! To minimize impacts to bats, the AMRP conducts bat surveys to determine the best closure method (i.e. installation of bat gates). Photo: Silver haired bat near Moab

Please be advised that the October Utah Board of Oil, Gas and Mining hearing has been canceled due to the withdrawal of the scheduled matter. The next Board Hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, December 1 at 9 a.m.


Our friends @utahgeological have been busy updating the STATEMAP!

Our STATEMAP just got a lot bigger! With a daunting list of geologic issues facing our nation in the next coming years, better geologic maps are at the foundation of solutions for many of these issues. Learn more in the latest issue of Survey Notes- ow.ly/5ATM50GhdR9
