All bidding and lease sale on BLM parcels listed on this website shall be subject to the statutes, administrative rules and regulations of the BLM per the authority of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 as amended and the Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands of 1947, as amended.

A lease issued as a result of this sale will have a primary term of 10 years. It will continue beyond its primary term as long as oil or gas in paying quantities is produced on or for the benefit of the lease. Advance rental at $1.50 per acre for the first 5 years ($2 per acre after that) is due on or before the anniversary date each year until production begins. Once a lease is producing, you must pay a royalty of 12.5 percent of the value or the amount of production removed or sold from the lease. You will find other lease terms on our standard lease form (Form 3100-11, October 2008).

Surface disturbance within this lease may be limited to the northwestern most portion of the lease to avoid impacting playa wetlands as playa wetlands are spatially distributed throughout the southern portion of the lease. These playa wetlands are protected surface waters of the State (under 20.6.4 NMAC, New Mexico Standards for Interstate and Intrastate Surface Waters) and are subject to the protective buffers outlined in the stipulation SENM-S-19 attached to this lease. In addition, an escarpment exhibiting steep slopes and enlarged ephemeral drainages runs northeast-southwest and are subject to the protective buffers outlined in the stipulation SENM-S-17 attached to this lease.

For the map, see Amendment Notice 1.

After all auctions have closed, the successful bidder will be notified via email with closing instructions, including total amount due.

On the day of the sale, you must pay at least the minimum bonus bid of $2 per acre or fraction of an acre; the first year's advance rental of $1.50 per acre or fraction of an acre; and a non-refundable administrative fee of $165, to the BLM State Office by the close of business.

A 1.5% Buyer Premium, calculated as 1.5% of the total bonus, will be added to the cost of this lease.
