Duchesne County Farm Bureau President Keith Jensen, said tha countys Public Lands Committee is addressing the roadless issue in an attempt to see if some potential problems can be resolved.

Like other companies, Halliburton has found that the market is looking ty promising once again, particu-i- v in the natural gas arena. The posted price of West Texas Inteimmliate crude has been hovering around the 529 to 530 a barrel range. About a year ago, crude oil was drawing about 5 10 per barrel. Ai tha same time, natural gas prices are skyrocketing, making it more lucrative to drill for the resource. Last week. Henry-Hu- b (the benchmark price for natural gas) was running at 54-3cente a thousand cubic feet Quite an 6 increase considering that for the several yean the going price was $2 per thousand cubic feet.

He said thats due in part to the fact that many industry experts feel the largest reserves in known fields have already been tapped. Utah also has a vast amount of public lands which require companies tocomply withnumerous federal regulations and endure a slow permitting process. The proposed Forest Service road closure plan is also expected to make it nearly impossible for inter- ested companies to drill for new oil reserves on forest lands.
