As RIK oil and natural gas sales contracts expire, the oil and natural gas properties will revert to in-value status. As a result of the announcement, the upcoming natural gas sales (Gulf of Mexico and Wyoming) previously advertised will not be conducted.
As this transitional phase-out occurs, royalty obligations will revert from being collected in-kind to being collected in-value. Operators will be provided written notification of when these properties will be reverted. Dear Operator letters for the properties to be reverted beginning November 1, 2009, are posted on our website at: RIKGasOperLts.htm
MMS will continue to post Dear Operator letters to our website and give prior written notification to operators on properties that will revert to in-value status as we phase out this program.
MMS thanks you for your support of and participation in the RIK Program. Please contact Pam Rieger at (303) 231-3020 for questions related to this notice.
