From the Executive Summary:
The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) estimates the total value of 2022 mineral and energy fuels production in Colorado to be $30.53 billion, a ~49% increase from the 2021 estimate of $20.51 billion mainly due to higher average prices for oil and natural gas. In 2022, the top commodities produced in terms of production value include: oil, natural gas, coal, molybdenum, gold, sand and gravel, cement, industrial gases (carbon dioxide), and crushed rock. Oil and natural gas production accounted for ~90% of Colorado’s total mineral and energy production value in 2022.
