Fencing & Containment
Perimeter fencing, livestock containment, and site security for well pads and production facilities across the Powder River Basin.
Keeping Livestock Out and Operations Secure
Oil and gas operations in cattle country require fencing that serves two purposes: keeping livestock away from well sites and equipment, and satisfying landowner and regulatory requirements for site containment. WYO Services builds and installs fencing for operators throughout Campbell, Converse, and surrounding counties.
Whether you need barbed wire around a new drill pad, pipe fencing for a tank battery, or temporary containment during construction, our crews handle it. We understand that fencing on working ranches is not optional -- it is a condition of the surface-use agreement and a matter of keeping good relationships with landowners.
Fencing Capabilities
Barbed Wire Fencing
Standard multi-strand barbed wire fencing for well pad perimeters, pipeline corridors, and lease boundaries. Built to withstand Wyoming wind and hold up against livestock pressure.
Pipe & Panel Fencing
Heavy-duty pipe fencing and panel systems for high-traffic areas, tank batteries, and locations where stronger containment is required. Built to take impact from equipment and livestock alike.
Livestock Containment
Fencing designed specifically to keep cattle, horses, and other livestock away from active well sites, tank batteries, and production equipment. We match fence type and height to the animals and terrain involved.
Gates & Access Points
Drive-through gates, walk-through gates, and cattle guards integrated into fence lines. We size and position access points for the truck traffic and equipment moves your operation requires.
Temporary Fencing
Construction-phase containment fencing that goes up fast and comes down clean when the job is done. Keeps sites compliant during drilling and completion without permanent installation.
Fence Removal & Replacement
Old fence tear-out, post pulling, and replacement fencing for reclaimed sites or locations where existing fence no longer meets requirements. We dispose of old materials and leave the line clean.
How We Build Your Fence
-
Site Survey
We walk the fence line, note terrain features, identify gate locations, and confirm property or lease boundaries. This prevents surprises once posts start going in the ground.
-
Material Selection
Fence type, wire gauge, post material, and spacing are determined by the application -- whether it is livestock containment, site security, or a combination. We spec materials that match the job and the conditions.
-
Post Setting
Corner posts, brace assemblies, and line posts are set at proper depth and spacing. In rocky or difficult ground, we adapt our methods to get solid sets that will hold tension for years.
-
Wire & Panel Installation
Wire is stretched to proper tension, panels are hung and secured, and all connections are made tight. We build fence that stays straight and holds up -- not the kind that sags after the first winter.
-
Gates & Access
Gates are installed, hung level, and fitted with appropriate latches and hardware. We coordinate gate placement with site traffic patterns and operator preferences.
-
Final Inspection
We walk the completed fence line to verify tension, post integrity, gate function, and overall quality before handing it off. If anything is not right, we fix it before we leave.
Common Questions About Fencing & Containment
What types of fencing do you install?
We install barbed wire, smooth wire, pipe fencing, panel fencing, and temporary construction fencing. The right choice depends on the application -- livestock containment, site perimeter, equipment protection, or regulatory compliance. We can recommend the best option for your situation.
How do you handle livestock containment around well sites?
Livestock containment starts with understanding the animals and the terrain. We build fence to the specifications needed for cattle, horses, or other stock -- proper height, wire count, post spacing, and gate placement. We also coordinate with landowners to make sure fence lines work with their grazing operations.
What are the fencing requirements for oilfield sites?
Fencing requirements vary by operator, surface-use agreement, and regulatory agency. Most well sites in the Powder River Basin require perimeter fencing sufficient to exclude livestock from the pad area. WYO Services builds fence to meet whatever specifications your permits and agreements require.
How long does a fencing project take?
Timeline depends on the length of the fence line, terrain, fence type, and weather. A standard well-pad perimeter fence can typically be completed within a few days. Larger projects covering miles of fence line take proportionally longer. We schedule work to align with your site construction timeline.
