Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s Daily Update Newsletter on June 24, 2024, their article titled, “BLM fetches $34.4 million in high bids from New Mexico, Kansas lease sale”?  The article was on the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) latest oil and gas lease sale for New Mexico and Kansas winners were announced last week.  The BLM’s oil and gas lease sale were for 19 parcels which spanned approximately 3,128 acres in New Mexico and Kansas.  They received 451 bids on 14 parcels out of the 19 parcels offered or approximately 2,768 acres and the leases will bring in over $34.4 million.  The lease sales royalty rate of 16.67% will be shared by the state where production is located and the US Treasury.  The BLM’s sale is only the first step in developing oil and gas leases.  The operator must file a development plan, have a public review (comment period), and they must conduct an environment analysis plan, and consult with state authorities and local stakeholders, once those are completed a permit to drill will be issued and production may begin.  If you would like to read more of Oil & Gas Journal’s article, please click the link: BLM fetches $34.4 million in high bids from New Mexico, Kansas lease sale | Oil & Gas Journal (ogj.com).
