Lease Terms and Conditions

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. Rental at $3.00 per acre for the first 2 years, $5.00 per acre for years 3 thru 8, and $15.00 per acre thereafter is due on or before the anniversary date with the first year's rental paid to the BLM and subsequent payments paid to the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) each year until production begins.

The royalty rate that applies to the lands offered in this lease sale is a fixed 16.67 percent. Once a lease is producing, you must pay a royalty of 16.67 percent (or as the lease is amended) of the value or the amount of production removed or sold from the lease. You will find other lease terms on the standard lease form. (Form 3100-011, March 2023).
