Important Information for Bidders: View here |
|
Notice to Bidders: Parties desiring to nominate or bid on State owned acreage for leasing (whether mineral lease, storage lease or wind lease) are requested to submit acreage descriptions (dxf.file, word.doc file and pdf.file) on a DVD or CD rather than a diskette due to the fact that new computers do not have a slot capability for floppy discs or diskettes. As all of the computers in the Petroleum Lands Division are replaced, there will, in a short time, be no computers capable of accessing diskettes, and nominating/bidding parties who continue to submit nominations/bids on diskette may have their nominations/bids returned until a CD or DVD is submitted. |
|
Notice to Bidders: Transparencies are no longer necessary when submitting portion bids. |

Notice to Royalty Payors: Effective January 1, 2007, Act 519 of the 2006 Regular Legislative Session became law. Act 519 states in part, "A payor of royalty whose total monthly payment is fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) or more shall pay the royalty payment by electronic wire transfer". Any royalty payments totaling $50,000.00 that are made by check will be returned to the payor. Furthermore, a company may be subject to a late payment penalty if their payment is not received via electronic wire transfer by the monthly payment deadline. More information regarding royalty transfers can be found in the "Monthly Report of Minerals Subject to State Royalty - Instructions". |
