Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog.
We always enjoy an update to one
of our blogs, and we did say, if we heard anything else on this Alaskan
wonderland! Last October, we blogged on
how the U.S. BLM showed interest in the National Petroleum Reserve- Alaska (NPR-A), and they had a lease sale back in March
which was a success, hence they announced their going to have another lease
sale and here’s the skinny!
Did anyone
happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s OGJ Daily Update Newsletter on
April 20, 2026, their article titled, “US BLM to offer 400,000 acres for oil
and gas leasing under ANWR’s coastal plain in June”? In the article, it speaks on how U.S.
Department of Interior (DOI) and its Office of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have
published they will be having an oil and gas lease sale on June 5th,
2026, for 400,000 acres of coastal plain in the Alaskan National Wildlife
Refuge (ANWR). The lease sale is one of
the requirements from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) signed last
year. A previous oil and gas lease sale
last year stirred little appeal to the industry, nonetheless the March 2026,
lease sale was a success (See our previous blogs for details). If you are interested in the June lease sale,
bids are due on June 3rd, with the announcements on June 5th,
please click the link for specific details from the Federal Register: Federal Register: Notice of 2026 Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Lease Sale. We will let you know, if we hear anything else
on this American asset! If you would
