BLM has been given instructions by the US DOI to make all future federal land oil and gas lease sales an all-inclusive package.

Happy Tuesday!  Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog!  We hope everyone enjoyed the Memorial holiday weekend! Let’s get to what’s been happening! 

Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s OGJ Daily Update Newsletter on May 23, 2025, their article titled, “Interior shrinks review period for potential federal oil, gas leases”?  In the article, it speaks on how earlier in May the U.S. Department of the Interior’s (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was instructed to reduce the environmental evaluation timeframe of possible oil and gas lease tracts to six months instead of the previous eight to fifteen months and included in this time period will be all public and stakeholders examination and feedback time, and if a protest is filed the lease may go onto the bidding blocks, but the tract will not be leased until the protest is settled.  In addition, the BLM was instructed to expand the tracts of federal land for onshore oil and gas lease sales and create a quarterly lease sale schedule.   If you would like to read more of Oil and Gas Journal’s article, please click the link:   Interior shrinks review period for potential federal oil, gas leases | Oil & Gas Journal.
