Wyoming OSLI — ~3.5M acres state trust + mineral estate. ~15.4K O&G lease polygons, ~31.6K state ownership parcels (FundCode CS dominates), ~195 active LARCS auction inventory. Spec drift: getLeaseDetail dropped (slim schema).

What is WY Office of State Lands & Investments?

Wyoming Office of State Lands & Investments (OSLI). ~3.5M acres state trust + mineral estate. Native server at `gis2.statelands.wyo.gov/arcgis/rest/services/`. Probed 2026-05-02. Layers: StateOwnership (~31,586 — full polygons w/ FundCode + IsActive + SurfaceAcres / SubsurfaceAcres), CurrentAuctionLands FeatureServer (Layer 0 = O&G lease polygons ~15,361 — slim schema, only LeaseNumber + AuctionLandID + dates; Table 1 = T_CurrentAuctionLandLARCS ~195 rows w/ rich auction attributes — LeaseCounty, AuctionLandAcres, BidPerAcre, MineralType). **Spec drift caught at probe**: `getLeaseDetail` DROPPED — lease polygon schema is too slim to justify a single-record method (no operator/county/status). LARCS table provides rich attributes — surfaced as `searchUpcomingAuctionLands` instead. StateOwnership has NO `County` column — only `Township_Temp` / `Range_Temp` PLSS strings; county filtering on ownership/school methods requires bbox. The 195-row LARCS table DOES have `LeaseCounty` + `AuctionLandCounty` (Title Case). FundCode distinct (probed): CS=20171 (Common School — Sec 16+36 trust analog, 64% of all parcels), FL=2594 (Forfeited Lands), SR=1930 (School Reserved), AF=975, PB=754 (Public Buildings), AG=673, DD=452, MH=443, UN=441, CA=399, PR=363, IA=297, MD=275, SS=270, PE=235, SL=197, SB=190, ES=153, plus 25+ trace codes. Lease_Status: Active dominates. Subsurface distinct: 1=19913, 2=9520, 3=1669, 4=480, 5=3 (meaning unclear in OSLI docs). OwnershipType always 0 (unused). IsActive=1 dominates (31510 of 31586). LeaseNumber format `12-00396`. Native server returns rich schemas; AGOL mirrors at `services3.arcgis.com/OYP7N6mAJJCyH6hd` (NBAM_Org) and `services5.arcgis.com/FeaGMhyvOuOWv03n` (zane.k.walker.nfg_WYARNG) are slimmer.
