The BLM held a quarterly oil and gas lease sale for federal lands in New Mexico.

Happy Monday!  Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog!  We hope you enjoyed the lovely weather which rolled in this afternoon! 

We try to keep up on the oil and gas lease sales and ever since the change in Administration the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management’s newsletter has been fairly quiet.  Thinking about it, so has the Department of Energy.  Well, we caught a news article on a recent oil and gas lease sale in New Mexico!

Did anyone happen to read the MSN Feed on February 24, 2025, they had an article from GlobalData titled, “BLM secures $20.67m from quarterly oil and gas lease sale”?  The article was on the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) New Mexico Office latest quarterly oil and gas lease sale announced their proceeds which are $20.67 million.  The BLM’s New Mexico Office oil and gas lease sale were for 7 parcels which spanned approximately 1,317 acres in New Mexico.  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 and this sale is helping support the new Administrations Executive Order for “Unleashing American Energy.”  The term of an oil and gas lease is ten years and may be prolonged as long as the well is producing sufficiently.   The BLM’s sales are held online through EnergyNet.  If you would like to read more of the article from GlobalData published on MSN, please click the link: BLM secures $20.67m from quarterly oil and gas lease sale.
