CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Gov. Matt Mead’s trip to Saudi Arabia last week has succeeded in drawing interest to energy research going on at the University of Wyoming, but it’s too soon to say whether that will result in Saudi investment in the project.

As a result of the weeklong trip, officials from Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil giant Saudi Aramco and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals will be visiting UW soon, Mead said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press.
