BLM decision could affect oil industry
Saturday, 20, March 2010


Dave Galt, executive director of the Montana Petroleum Association, feels a recent decision by the Bureau of Land Management could greatly affect the future oil industry in Montana.Galt explains the BLM was facing a lawsuit from three organizations – the Montana Environmental Information Center, Wild Earth Guardians and Earthworks – regarding oil and gas lease sales. The suit said the oil and gas development and global warming impacts the environment, and that BLM failed to address the impacts.

“The BLM decided, after they thought about it, that they wanted to settle the case,” Galt said. “They didn’t want to go to court.”That decision suspends 61 oil and gas leases in Montana that were granted in 2008 pending a new environmental analysis. Galt said the parcels cover a total of 37,000 acres throughout the state including some acres in Richland and Roosevelt counties. Other counties affected include Carbon, Sweet Grass, Stillwater, Musselshell, Phillips, Custer, Sheridan, Fallon, Broadwater, Gallatin, Fergus, Garfield, Golden Valley and Beaverhead.
