Happy Monday!  Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog!

Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s OGJ Daily Update Newsletter on January 7, 2026, their article titled, “BLM New Mexico, Oklahoma lease sale yields nearly $327 million in revenue”?  In the article, it speaks on how the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently had a quarterly oil and gas lease sale for parcels in New Mexico and Oklahoma.  The oil and gas lease sale was one of the most successful by bringing in a bid for $218,751 for a single acre.  The BLM lease sale leased over 20,000 acres or 31 parcels with a value of $326.8 million.  As with offshore oil and gas lease sales the royalty rate is 12.5%.  If we hear anything else from the BLM, we will let you know.  If you would like to read more of Oil and Gas Journal’s article, please click the link:   BLM New Mexico, Oklahoma lease sale yields nearly $327 million in revenue | Oil & Gas Journal.
