The Department of the Interior (DOI) announced Thursday it generated over $39 million in revenue from oil and gas lease sales on public lands during the first few months of 2025.
A press release by the agency says these sales are “underscoring the Department’s continued commitment to responsible energy development on public lands and American Energy Dominance.” The revenue also reflects the government’s ongoing focus on supporting job growth, reducing reliance on foreign resources, unleashing domestic energy production and streamlining the permitting and leasing processes.
“This quarter’s lease sales demonstrate Interior’s unwavering commitment to fostering American Energy Dominance, and we are grateful to those who produce energy on federal lands,” DOI Secretary Doug Burgum said in the statement. “By building on the commonsense, pro-growth policies of the Trump administration, we’re ensuring public lands are being used to their fullest potential to support national security, economic strength and livelihood of the American people.”
