The mine is operated by Wyodak Resources Development, a subsidiary of the Black Hills Corporation. As of 2009, Wyodak had reserves of 294mm tons of sub-bituminous coal and a maximum permitted production capacity of 10mm tons per year. Typical annual production has been in the 5-6mm ton range for the last several years though.

The Wyoming Mining Association serves as a unified voice, providing value at a reasonable cost to its membership, by communicating, influencing, and promoting issues on behalf of the mining industry.

A higher stripping ratio at Wyodak in 2015 is expected to somewhat offset the more favorable contract terms. Through nine months of 2014, Black Hills sold 3.232 million st of coal, down somewhat from 2.265 million st in the same period a year ago.

By contrast, coal production from the Illinois Basin in 2015 was 8% higher than production levels over 2010-14. In the United States, almost all coal is used to generate electricity. Recently, coal's share of electricity generation has fallen as its market share of natural gas and renewables increased.

WYOMING COAL PRODUCTION Wyoming mines produced 375.7 million tons of coal in 2015, most of that from the Powder River Basin (PRB). Up to 80 single destination trains of up to 150 cars leave the PRB for energy markets across America each day. In 2015, Wyoming coal mines employed 6,646 workers with a payroll of about $700 million.

Introduction. Wyoming is the nation's largest coal producer, with over 400 million tons of coal produced in the state each year. In 2006, Wyoming's coal production accounted for almost 40% of the nation's total coal production. Currently Wyoming coal comes from four of the state's ten major coal fields.

Aug 01, 2013· Wyodak Resources Development Corp., a subsidiary of Black Hills Corp. (NYSE: BKH), is a surface coal mine near Gillette, Wyo., and is the oldest operating surface coal mine in the United States. Wyodak has reserves of 213 million tons — a 40-year supply at expected production levels — in the Powder River Basin.

Operations. Wyodak is a surface coal mine set up as a mine-mouth operation. That means that the coal produced at the mine is shipped directly to the adjacent power plant customers. A surface coal mine removes the relatively shallow soils above the mineral resource. First, we remove and stockpile topsoil ahead of the mine advance.

base and the Wyodak coal top can also indicate the presence of a Wyodak "no-coal zone." A combination of Big George structure and Big George-Wyodak interval isopach maps can effectively identify the Wyodak "no-coal zones." Wells located adjacent to Wyodak "no-coal zones" can result in decreased production rates.

Recent advances in production technology for natural gas have dampened coal demand and production has slowed. The average price for Wyoming coal in 2014 was $13.43 per ton, down 5.1 percent from 2012.

The largest annual decline in coal production in 2016 was in the Powder River Basin, which declined by 70 MMst (17%) from 2015 levels. Declines in coal production relative to 2015 levels ranged from 16% to 26% in the Northern and Central Appalachian basins, the Rocky Mountain region, and the Illinois Basin.

Cody Brown, 29, was a contractor from Spearfish, SD working for a well drilling and hydrogeology company. North Antelope Rochelle is the highest production coal mine in the country, and the accident was the first coal mining fatality in the state since a 2008 accident at the Wyodak Mine.

As a result of this pressure drawdown, gas production began and continued on a steady incline. Additional development of the coal resource followed rapidly, and over the next ten years the exploitation of the Wyodak coal seam would emerge as one of the most active gas plays in the world.
