New Mexico Oil And Gas Lease Sales
BLM New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas conducts oil and gas lease sales quarterly in accordance with the Mineral Leasing Act and Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands, as amended, when eligible lands are available for lease
As of January 1, 2018, if you would like to nominate lands for a lease sale, you are required to submit an Expression of Interest through the National Fluid Lease Sale System (NFLSS) at https://nflss.blm.gov/.
BLM New Mexico’s lease sales are held online through EnergyNet (https://www.energynet.com/govt_listing.pl). For more information on the transition to online lease sales, effective January 2017, please see the BLM news release: BLM Takes Important Step Toward Online Oil & Gas Lease Sales
