Federal Oil and Gas Leasing Information
In May 1999, the BLM held its first lease sale on Alaskan federal lands since 1984 offering nearly 3.9 million acres within northeast National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A). The BLM has since held four more lease sales in the NPR-A. Leasing in the northeast was offered again in 2002, and the northwest in 2004 and 2006 and both in 2008.
Outside the Petroleum Reserve on lands leased under the authority of the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA), the BLM will make federal lands available for leasing consistent with decisions made in the various land use plans. Additional information regarding BLM planning efforts can be found on the BLM ALaska Planning page.
