The Controversy Stoking Idaho's Oil And Gas Industry

DARIN OSWALD

Idaho Statesman

Idaho’s oil and gas industry continues to spark interest, concern and controversy, especially in Payette County. Natural gas was discovered in southwest Idaho in 2010. Since then several gas wells and one oil well have been built. Now those wells are changing hands -- again. The new owner wants to put past issues of transparency and underpayments by the first owner behind him.

The Idaho Statesman's Rocky Barker has been covering this and talked with Idaho Matters about his recent reporting.
