Negotiating an oil and gas lease will require some research upfront. If youre a landowner interested in working with an oil and gas company, you should explore their history and experience. Youll want to work with a reputable company that works in your best interests, holds a high standard, and maintains insurance.
The most important factors are: How many net acres you own. Your lease royalty rate. Number of pooled acres. Price of Oil and Gas. Volume of Oil and Gas Produced.
The Federal onshore oil and gas rate is 16.67% for leases issued after August 16, 2022. However, there are a few exceptions, including different royalty rates on older leases, reduced royalty rates on certain oil leases with declining production, and increased royalty rates for reinstated leases.
Price Per Acre In 2024, some local drillers reported that the average amount they pay landowners per acre is in the $500/acre range. This is because landmen (the agents who negotiate leases) usually offer significantly less per acre if they suspect you lack knowledge of the market.
The MLA requires each BLM state office to conduct quarterly oil and gas lease sales by oral bidding where eligible lands are available. It also establishes the minimum bonus bid1 of $2 per acre. Parcels unsold at the oral auctions are available noncompetitively starting the day after the sale.
