News Release
BLM Wyoming leases 123 oil and gas parcels in December sale, nets $10.8 million
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - The Bureau of Land Management Wyoming raised $10.8 million in its Dec. 10-11, 2019, quarterly oil and gas lease sale, facilitating economic opportunities and infrastructure investment in local communities. The BLM received bids on 123 parcels totaling about 123,258 acres.
The BLM reviewed 169 parcels nominated for the sale and ultimately offered 160, totaling about 173,265 acres. We deleted or deferred nine whole parcels and parts of six others because of resource conflicts.
Leasing is the first step in the process to develop federal oil and gas resources, and it does not authorize drilling. At this stage, the BLM applies standard terms and conditions and appropriate stipulations to each lease to protect other resources in the area. Before authorizing development on a lease, the BLM must approve a separate drilling permit based on further analysis of detailed site-specific plans and conditions.
To learn more about the sale and associated review process, visit our ePlanning website at go.usa.gov/xEdur. We will post a detailed results summary on the web within the coming week.
Wyoming is one of the nation's top energy producers on public lands. In 2018, BLM Wyoming lease sales garnered nearly $117 million. About half of the revenue from Wyoming lease sales is disbursed to the State of Wyoming to fund state-determined priority projects. If a lease results in production, the associated royalties are also shared with the state.
-BLM-
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In fiscal year 2018, the diverse activities authorized on BLM-managed lands generated $105 billion in economic output across the country. This economic activity supported 471,000 jobs and contributed substantial revenue to the U.S. Treasury and state governments, mostly through royalties on minerals.
Welcome to Rock Springs….a diverse city richly steeped in western history and coal mining. Outlaw gangs who roamed the West often passed through Rock Springs or used it as a destination. As a young man, outlaw “Butch” Cassidy worked in Rock Springs as a butcher….acquiring the name “Butch”. We are also known as the City of “56 Nationalities” as people emigrated to Rock Springs in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s to work in the Union Pacific coal mines. We have a reputation of being a very friendly, helpful, and welcoming community……our people are the fabric of our city. Come visit us….you may enjoy yourself so much that you will want to stay!
