A rig drilling an oil well for QEP Resources Inc., is shown on ranchland a few miles west of Cheyenne, Wyo., Thursday Sept. 30, 2010. More oil rigs are popping up around Cheyenne and some new wells 50 miles north of town might already be producing oil from the Niobrara Shale. The Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has issued permits for more than 50 oil wells in northern Laramie County and southern Goshen and Platte counties so far this year. Dozens of those wells are now marked "confidential" on the production information page on the commission website. (AP Photo/Mead Gruver) (Mead Gruver)
