- Oil and Gas Leasing
In response to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, enacted on July 4, 2025, and Executive Order 14154, entitled, “Unleashing American Energy,” dated January 20, 2025, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to modify its existing regulations pertaining to royalties due on oil and natural gas lost on Federal and Indian leases. These modifications would reduce unnecessary compliance burdens for operators and streamline the BLM’s royalty determinations on lost oil or natural gas.
