The Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC) has run Form 2 as the state’s monthly production report for decades. Every operator with active wells in Wyoming: from Powder River Basin horizontals to legacy stripper wells in the Big Horn and the Green River Basin: files Form 2.

Form 2 is the monthly Report of Operations, filed with the WOGCC. It covers oil, gas, and water produced per well, along with disposition and purchaser data. The WOGCC uses this data for enforcement, severance tax cross-referencing with the Wyoming Department of Revenue, and well-status tracking. Filings go through the WOGCC’s online system.

Wyoming’s rules are straightforward, but the state takes filing accuracy seriously. The WOGCC is small but thorough.

What Form 2 Reports

Form 2 is filed monthly, per well. Each well line includes:

  • Oil produced (barrels)
  • Gas produced (MCF), including casinghead and sold gas
  • Water produced (barrels)
  • Days produced in the month
  • Well status: producing, shut-in, injecting, plugged
  • Disposition: sold, stored, used on lease, vented, flared, injected
  • Purchaser for sold volumes
  • API number and pool code

Wyoming requires flare and vent volumes to be reported with a documented method. The WOGCC has tightened its flaring and venting oversight in line with Rocky Mountain state trends, and operator-reported volumes are audited against gathering and satellite data.

When Form 2 Is Due

Form 2 is due by the last day of the second month following production. January production is due by the end of March. Filings go through the WOGCC’s online reporting portal.

The WOGCC accepts both direct data entry and file upload. Operators running more than a handful of wells typically use the upload path.

The Data Chain Behind Form 2

The per-well format means the data chain has to produce:

  1. Pumper gauges: daily on every tank battery, tied to the wells feeding it.
  2. Run tickets with API numbers noted, not just lease names.
  3. Gas meter reads at each producing well or allocation point.
  4. Flare and vent logs with documented calculation methods.
  5. Water disposition tracking: produced water injected, hauled, or evaporated.
  6. Shut-in and workover days: tagged to the affected well.
  7. Purchaser statements: reconciled against field data before submission.

The Powder River Basin horizontals typically have pad-level automation that makes data capture cleaner. The legacy verticals across the state: and the stripper wells in the Big Horn Basin: run on pumper field data, which is where the problems come from.

How GreaseBook Fits Wyoming Operator Workflows

GreaseBook captures daily gauges, run tickets, meter reads, flare volumes, and water disposition in the field on a phone or tablet. The data rolls up on the operator side well by well, with API numbers attached and purchasers tagged.

The rollup mirrors Form 2’s per-well structure. GreaseBook does not submit to the WOGCC: the operator or their Wyoming filer handles the portal login and submission. What GreaseBook solves is the data collection problem: the pumper ticket that didn’t make it to the accountant, the flare volume that got estimated, the shut-in days that got forgotten.

A Big Horn Basin operator with 22 stripper wells described the difference: “We used to build Form 2 from pumper notebooks on the 10th of every month. Now the data is built as the month goes, and the filing on the 30th is a reconciliation, not a reconstruction.”

Form 2 wants well-by-well data. Your field capture has to match.

GreaseBook gives Wyoming operators real-time pumper data so the monthly WOGCC filing runs clean.

Common Form 2 Filing Mistakes

  • Flare volumes estimated. Wyoming wants documented methods. Estimated flare numbers are a red flag in audits.
  • API number errors on legacy wells. Some Wyoming wells have been producing for 60+ years and accumulated API entry errors along the way. Reconcile before filing.
  • Shut-in wells dropped from the filing. Wells still on the books get monthly lines with zero produced and a shut-in status.
  • Produced water disposition missing. If water is hauled off the lease, the disposition shows up. Skipping it creates an imbalance.
  • Severance tax filing and Form 2 disagreeing. The Wyoming Department of Revenue and the WOGCC cross-reference. Inconsistent numbers trigger questions on both sides.

Wrong Fit for This Page

If you are a Powder River Basin major running a P2 or Quorum accounting stack with integrated SCADA and automated Form 2 output, you don’t need help on the data side. This page is for the Wyoming independent running legacy verticals in the Big Horn, stripper wells in the Green River, or smaller unconventional wells where the pumper is still running the data chain by hand.

FAQ

Does GreaseBook handle WOGCC electronic filing?

No. Form 2 still files through WOGCC Online. GreaseBook gives you the clean per-lease monthly production rollup that feeds the form: the filing step stays with you or your accountant.

When is Wyoming Form 2 due?

Form 2 is due by the last day of the second month following production. February production is due by the end of April.

What does the WOGCC do?

The Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission regulates oil and gas production in the state, including permitting, well status, and monthly production reporting through Form 2.

Are flare volumes reported on Wyoming Form 2?

Yes. Flared and vented gas volumes are reported monthly, with documented calculation methods. The WOGCC audits these against gathering and satellite data.

How are Wyoming Form 2 filings submitted?

Through the WOGCC’s online reporting portal, with both direct entry and file upload accepted.

About the author: Greg Archbald is the founder of GreaseBook. He built the product from inside the oil patch and has spent 15+ years on the operator side of oil and gas technology.

Form 2 runs on the same data your purchaser already paid you for.

GreaseBook captures the pumper's gauges and run tickets the day they happen, so Wyoming operators reconcile Form 2 against the purchaser statement before the WOGCC asks questions. Because the WOGCC audits on severance tax math, not on intent.

**P.S.** Wyoming Form 2 is simple on paper. It stops being simple the moment you have BLM acreage mixed in with state leases. If that is you, the ONRR side is where the hours actually get spent.
