Show Forestry may cancel leases F MOAB The Board of State Lands and Forestry will consider cancelling current withdrawals of state mineral lands from oil, gas and mineral leases in and near Dead Horse Point State Park to allow oil and gas development. The reason for withdrawing these lands was to ensure optimum recovery of potash. Mining potash through underground methods with simultaneous oil and gas operations would have required leaving pillars of potash around oil wells, reducing the amount of recoverable potash. |
