Johnson County, Wyo., is the kind of remote, quiet Western community where life revolves around cattle—it was the site of an infamous 19th-century armed battle between cowboys and suspected cattle rustlers. The county ranks only 11th statewide for oil production, but it holds the number-one ranking nationwide for a more ignominious distinction: It has 249 new, high-risk oil and gas wells that the federal government has failed to inspect for compliance with safety and environmental standards. Johnson County may have the most uninspected wells, but its far from the only place where the problem exists. huffingtonpost/2014/06/23/oil-and-gas-well-inspections_n_5522338.html
