What it is and who needs it.
What the blanket bond covers
The Wyoming Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC) regulates well operations under W.S. Title 30, Chapter 5. Before drilling, an operator must post a bond running to the State of Wyoming so that, if the operator walks away, the state has funds to plug the wells and reclaim the surface.
Rather than bond each well separately, an operator can post an owner's blanket bond that covers all of its wells statewide. The Commission's rules commonly set the statewide blanket figure at $100,000, with per-foot bonding and additional idle-well bonding as alternatives or add-ons.
Before a well is released from the bond, pits must be closed and the surface reclaimed in line with the rules and the landowner's reasonable wishes. The bond is not insurance for the operator — if the state draws on it to plug or reclaim, the operator repays the surety. Confirm your required amount with the Commission.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
