COLORADO OIL AND GAS LEASE SALES
BLM Colorado holds oil and gas lease sales quarterly, as required by the Mineral Leasing Act, when eligible lands are available for leasing. Lease sales are held on a quarterly basis to allow field offices sufficient time to conduct environmental analysis. However, the BLM has the discretion to offer or defer any parcel during any sale.
The BLM now conducts lease sales online via www.energynet.com. Please refer to each sale notice for more information on how to register, bid and spectate at online oil and gas auctions.
If you would like to nominate lands for a lease sale, please submit an Expression of Interest. As of June 2, 2018, BLM Colorado requests all Expressions of Interest be submitted through the National Fluid Lease Sale System (NFLSS) at https://nflss.blm.gov/. No filing fee or rental is required to submit an EOI. Click here for more information on EOIs.
As of March 1, 2019, new nominations will no longer be added to this page. To view nominations submitted after March 1, 2019, please see the NFLSS website.

Public Scoping Comment Period:
Public scoping comments will be accepted electronically via the BLM Land Use Planning and NEPA Register (ePlanning) by clicking on the link above.
Please note that the most useful public scoping comments are substantive comments that identify issues relevant to the proposed action or contain new technical or scientific information for the BLM to consider in the analysis document to be prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments which contain only opinions or preferences, or comments that are essentially identical to other comments, will not be specifically addressed in the environmental review process.
Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your public scoping comment, you should be aware that your entire comment - including your personal identifying information - may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
For general questions, please contact:
Kirby-Lynn Shedlowski (Colorado State Office) kshedlowski@blm.gov or (303)-239-3671
