- Addition of Paragraph 4(e)(vii) "Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)": Lessor's right to use UAS (otherwise known as drones) to inspect property

- Elimination of the six-months' royalty-free flaring provision
- Reduction of overriding royalty allowance to 3%
- Clarification regarding the requirement to obtain a Communitization Agreement to pool state trust minerals
- Revision of Shut-in Wells Paragraph: shut-in is permitted for lack of market only, limits shut-in period to two (2) years, requires payment of shut-in royalty within 90 days of shutting-in a lease, and clarifies plugging and abandonment of a well will end shut-in period

Colorado State Land Board oil and gas leases will be initially offered at a 20% royalty rate. If a lease does not sell at auction, it will be available at the next subsequent auction at a 18.75% royalty rate. If a tract is unsold at the 18.75% rate, it will be placed back into the State Land Board inventory and can be nominated for future auctions starting at the 20% royalty rate.
