The Bureau of Land Management Wyoming has announced an upcoming oil and gas lease sale scheduled for June 3, offering 29 parcels totaling 22,965 acres across the state. The BLM completed scoping on these parcels in October, with a public comment period closing in January. A 30-day public protest period is now open until April 11.
Leasing is the first step in developing federal oil and gas resources, with operators required to submit an application for permit to drill before operations can begin. The BLM reviews these applications, conducts environmental analysis, and coordinates with state partners and stakeholders.
All parcels in the lease sale include stipulations to protect natural resources. More information on current and upcoming BLM leases can be accessed through the National Fluid Lease Sale System. Detailed information on the analyzed parcels, including maps and instructions for submitting a protest, can be found on the BLM’s ePlanning website.
This lease sale is part of the BLM’s ongoing efforts to manage federal lands for multiple uses, including energy development while safeguarding natural resources. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in the public protest period and provide feedback on the proposed oil and gas parcels.
