Production of oil and natural gas from leases on federal lands and waters is an important part of the nation’s energy portfolio and a significant source of revenue for the federal government. This book examines steps the Interior has taken to ensure the public receives a fair return on oil and gas resources since 2007.
It also examines the number of tracts leased, along with the trends in associated coal production and revenues generated since 1990; BLM’s implementation of the process to estimate fair market value for coal leases; the extent to which BLM considers coal exports and domestic coal reserve estimates when estimating fair market value; and the extent to which BLM communicates information on federal coal lease sales to the public.
