Technical Report · Sat Dec 31 23:00:00 EST 1988

OSTI ID:5876661

Federally owned oil and gas resources are located on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Forest Service (FS), other Federal Surface Management Agencies (SMAs), and on lands with non-Federal surface owner (split estate lands). Federal oil/gas lease operations are managed by the BLM in cooperation with the appropriate SMA or surface owner. This brochure was developed to aid the operator in permit approval and conduct of oil and gas operations on federal lands, from exploration to development and production, to abandonment. Information is provided for preparation of the surface use and drilling programs. The brochure also will prove useful in guiding oil and gas operators on Indian lands.
