IS-87D From the Executive Summary: The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) estimates the total value of 2023 mineral and energy fuels production in Colorado to be $20.58 billion, a ~33% decrease from the 2022 estimate of $30.53 billion mainly due to lower average prices for natural gas. In 2023, the top commodities produced in terms of production value include: oil, natural gas, molybdenum, gold, coal, sand and gravel, cement, crushed rock, and industrial gases (carbon dioxide). Estimated mineral production values for 2023 are shown by commodity type in Figure ES-1. Oil and natural gas production accounted for ~84% of Colorado’s total mineral and energy production value in 2023.
