This service depicts well features related to applications for permits to drill (APD) for the New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas region of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). These well features are associated with areas specific to APDs.
This geospatial information serves as a tool for stakeholders in ensuring that oil and gas operations on Federal leases comply with a spectrum of laws and regulations, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the National Historic Preservation Act, and the Endangered Species Act. By integrating data on infrastructure and environmental considerations, this GIS layer aids in the assessment, analysis, and approval process of permit applications, contributing to the responsible and sustainable development of these energy resources. |

| description:
|
Oil and gas produced from the Federal mineral estate are significant parts of the nation’s energy mix. All Federal oil and gas royalty, rental fee, and bonus bid revenue is split about half between the U.S. Treasury and the states where development occurred. The amount of annual revenue that Federal mineral development provides to the U.S. Treasury is second only to that provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Once a leaseholder, operator, or designated agent identifies an oil and gas deposit on a Federal lease, they can file an application for permit to drill. The BLM cannot approve an application for permit to drill until the operator meets the requirements of certain laws and regulations, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the National Historic Preservation Act, and the Endangered Species Act. Upon receiving an APD, BLM typically conducts an onsite inspection with surface and/or mineral estate owners, resource specialists, the operator, and when applicable, other Surface Management Agencies (or SMAs, such as states, tribal representatives, or other Federal agencies like the USDA Forest Service).
After completing these inspections, the BLM, together with any other relevant SMAs, conducts a NEPA analysis, and then approves, approves with modifications, denies, or defers action on the application. Deferred action or denials can occur because the operator fails to provide all the necessary information or due to severe resource concerns. The BLM and other SMAs may add Conditions of Approval to the APD to protect site-specific resources. An approved APD is valid for two years or until the lease expires, whichever occurs first, but the BLM may grant a two-year extension to allow the operator more time to drill. |
