Washington, increasingly eager to find domestic sources of energy, is leasing the subsurface rights of those so-called split estates at an unprecedented pace to energy companies. Wyoming's abundance of gas reserves makes it especially attractive. The state's citizens have lived through energy booms--and busts--before. But while oil and gas jobs came and went, the ranch remained. This time, ranchers say, the boom risks ruining...
