Nevada Oil and Gas Lease Sales
BLM Nevada holds oil and gas lease sales four times per year, as required by the Mineral Leasing Act, when eligible lands are available for leasing. We offer parcels for lease on a rotating schedule among District Offices to allow each office sufficient time to conduct environmental analysis. However, the BLM has the discretion to offer or defer any parcel during any sale.
BLM Nevada’s lease sales are held online through EnergyNet (https://www.energynet.com/govt_listing.pl). Half of the royalties from leasing and mineral development goes to the State of Nevada.
BLM is providing the anticipated dates for upcoming lease sales. These dates are provided for planning purposes only and are subject to change. BLM will update this site if there are changes.
