Wyo buying checkerboard sections

[Deleted member 18333]

These lands would be the Anadarko sections. Oxy bought them last year. I can see this being positive for the public land hunter or negative depending on how it’s executed. Interesting none the less.

State leaders are looking to buy 1 million acres of land in southern Wyoming

State leaders view the purchase as a way to generate revenue and improve public lands access.

Wow. That would be incredible if it happens.

This could be a legacy deal for a first term Governor...

Hopefully this one can make its way through. Hard telling if the state legislature will be willing to make that large of an investment...

Did I miss a map in that article?

I would donate to something like this.

good news for access

 

[nontyp]

any ideas on what the price range is for this type of land in Wyoming?

This would be huge... plus might be able to get if for a fire sale price is Oil and Gas prices and Oxy's stock are any indication.

GoFund that shit. I'm in.

oxy is desperate to sell assets; wyoming needs to make this happen while they can cause they'll sell to anyone who ponies up

Any increased access there would be welcomed. Lots of BLM to camp on as well.

You can currently access the Anadarko checkerboard. Oxy is just looking to dump assets they have no interest in.

Nice. I have never stopped there.

well, that would be a point of contention with the landmen at oxy and would likely need some more context.

it's not legal to hunt anadarko/oxy land without permission. that's all that matters.

I'd be surprised if it sold for more than 100 million.

The only big operators up there are EOG, DVN, and CHK. CHK isn't going to last very much longer, and I don't see either EOG or Devon making a big WY acquisition. Plus they would be interested only interested in the Powder, my sense is that this is the APC asset, so probably not much traction from those players. Possibly some DJ operators would be interested but I would think think they would just want the DJ assets.

I'm interested to learn more and see how it plays out.

I think we can muster up a 100 million from HTers and buy it. I got a c-note for the cause.

It’ll be a heck of a deal. Even though I’m a damn non-resident I still kick in a few bucks for that.
