About WYO Services

Who owns WYO Services?

Services

What We Do

What services does WYO Services offer?

WYO Services provides seven core services for oil and gas site development: pad construction and dirt work, reclamation and seeding, fencing and containment, cattle guard fabrication and installation, site infrastructure support, turnkey site development, and emerging pipeline work. These services cover the full lifecycle of an oilfield site, from initial ground-breaking through final land restoration.

Can I hire WYO Services for a single service, or do I need the full package?

Both. Each of our seven services can be contracted individually. If you only need fencing or only need reclamation, we handle that. If you want one contractor managing everything from dirt work through final seeding, we do that too. The scope is up to you.

What kind of cattle guards do you build?

WYO Services fabricates and installs custom cattle guards designed for heavy oilfield traffic. Our guards are built to handle the weight and frequency of trucks, water haulers, and equipment that move through well site access roads. We handle fabrication, delivery, and installation.

What does turnkey site development include?

Turnkey means one contractor handles the entire project from mobilization through final inspection. That includes pad construction, road building, fencing, cattle guards, infrastructure, and eventually reclamation and seeding when the site reaches end of life. One contract, one point of contact, one schedule.

Process & Timeline

Working With Us

How quickly can WYO Services mobilize to a job site?

Because our equipment and crews are based in Gillette and Douglas, we mobilize faster than contractors traveling from out of state. Exact timing depends on current project load and scope, but our local presence in the Powder River Basin means less lead time on most projects.

How does the project process work from start to finish?

It starts with a conversation about your project scope. We discuss the site, the work needed, timelines, and any regulatory requirements. From there, we put together a plan and pricing. Once contracted, we mobilize equipment and crew, execute the work, and close out the project with any required documentation or inspections.

Do you handle permits and regulatory compliance?

WYO Services works within the regulatory framework for oil and gas site work in Wyoming. We coordinate with operators on permit requirements and perform work to the standards set by agencies like the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality and the Bureau of Land Management. Specific permitting responsibilities depend on the project and are discussed during scoping.

Reclamation

Land Restoration

How long does reclamation take?

The physical work -- recontouring, topsoil replacement, erosion control, and seeding -- can often be completed within weeks depending on site size. However, full vegetation establishment in Wyoming's semi-arid climate typically requires two to three growing seasons, and bond release timelines can extend further depending on regulatory requirements and growing conditions.

What seed mixes does WYO Services use?

Seed mixes are selected based on the site's location, elevation, soil type, and regulatory requirements. We source certified native grass and forb seed from approved suppliers and match the mix to the local plant community. The goal is functional rangeland that satisfies both regulatory standards and landowner expectations.

Service Areas

Where We Work

What areas does WYO Services cover?

WYO Services operates primarily throughout the Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming, with bases in Gillette and Douglas. Our work covers Campbell, Converse, and surrounding counties. If you have a project elsewhere in Wyoming, call us at (307) 696-5161 to discuss.

Do you work on both BLM and private land?

Yes. WYO Services performs site development and reclamation on both federal (BLM) and private land. The regulatory requirements differ between the two, and we work within the applicable standards for each. Our experience in the Powder River Basin means we're familiar with both scenarios.
