Under the provisions of 30 U.S.C. 188(d) and (e), and 43 CFR 3108.2-3(a) and (b)(2), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) received a petition for reinstatement from Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and Lance Oil Gas Company for noncompetitive oil and gas lease WYW144810 for land in Johnson County, Wyoming.
