Project Description

What's New

BLM’s Policy
It is the policy of the BLM as mandated by various laws, including the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (30 United States Code [USC] 181 et seq.), the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to make mineral resources available for development to meet national, regional, and local needs. The oil and gas leasing program managed by the BLM encourages the sustainable development of domestic oil and gas reserves which reduces the dependence of the United States on foreign sources of energy as part of its multiple-use and sustainable yield mandate. Therefore, in accordance with the BLM regulations at 43 CFR 3120, the Bureau of Land Management will be offering parcels for lease at a Competitive Oil and Gas Lease Sale.


 
September 2018 Oil and Gas Lease Sale
BLM will have an Oil and Gas Lease Sale on September 20th, 2018 and the potential parcels being offered include Federal fluid mineral estates located in the Northeastern and Southeastern Districts. The sale will be conducted utilizing the EnergyNet internet-based auction system. Additional information about the sale is available at https://www.energynet.com/govt_listing.pl.

Please click on the Documents tab to the left for NEPA documents, the Oil & gas Lease Sale Notice (Sale Notice) and the Decision Record for the sale. A hard copy of the Sale Notice is available in the BLM Public Room, located in Suite 950, 20 M Street, Washington, D.C.
