CHEYENNE, Wyo. - To meet requirements of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Bureau of Land Management will hold an oil and gas lease sale on Dec. 30, 2025, offering 34 parcels totaling 26,050 acres in Wyoming.
The BLM’s regularly scheduled fourth quarter oil & gas lease sale held on Dec. 3, 2025, generated nearly $17.5 million in revenue. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act requires a replacement sale be held if there are no bids received on 25% or more of the acreage offered during a previous sale.

Consistent with Executive Order 14154, “Unleashing American Energy,” BLM's lease sales help meet the energy needs of our citizens and solidify the United States as a global energy leader long into the future. BLM ensures oil and gas development meets the requirements and policy goals set forth by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and other laws and policies passed by Congress.
Leasing is the first step in the process to develop Federal oil and gas resources. Before development operations can begin, an operator must submit an application for permit to drill detailing development plans. The BLM reviews applications for permits to drill, posts them for public review, conducts an environmental analysis and coordinates with State partners and stakeholders. All parcels leased as part of an oil and gas lease sale include appropriate stipulations to protect important natural resources. Information on current and upcoming BLM lease sales is available through the National Fluid Lease Sale System.
The BLM’s lease sales are held online through EnergyNet. Results are available on the National Fluid Lease Sale System. After navigating to the page, filter to the sale, and select the action “View Sale Documents” to view the sale results.
The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
