BLM Opens Public Scoping on Oct. 28 for Wyoming's June 2027 Oil and Gas Lease Sale: 104 Parcels Totaling 123,166 Acres, Comments Due Nov. 27
CHEYENNE, Laramie County, Wyoming — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced on October 28 a 30-day public scoping period seeking input on 104 parcels totaling 123,166 acres that may be included in Wyoming's June 2027 oil and gas lease sale; comments are due November 27.
BLM said leasing is the first step in developing federal oil and gas resources; before development begins, operators must submit an application for permit to drill detailing their plans, which BLM reviews, posts publicly, analyzes environmentally, and coordinates with state partners and stakeholders. All parcels included in federal lease sales carry appropriate stipulations to protect important natural resources. Parcel maps and comment methods are available through BLM's ePlanning website, lease information is also available through the National Fluids Lease Sale System, and BLM sales are held online through the Efficient Markets platform.
BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land, located primarily in 12 western states including Alaska, and administers about 700 million acres of subsurface mineral estate nationwide.
