Notice of Competitive Oil and Gas Lease Sale
We wish to announce that in accordance with 43 CFR Part 3120, we will offer for competitive sale
certain lands in the States of Wyoming and Nebraska for Federal oil and gas leasing. This notice
describes-
• The time and place of the sale;
• How the sale will be conducted;
• How to participate in the bidding process;
• The sale process;
• How long the sale will last;
• The conditions of the sale;
• How to file a noncompetitive offer after the sale;
• How to file a presale noncompetitive offer; and
• How to file a protest to our offering the lands in this Notice.
Beginning on page 1 of this Notice is a list of the lands we are offering at this sale. The lands are
described by parcel number and legal land description. They are listed in Range and Township order
by state and land type and will be offered in that sequence. Below each parcel we have included any
stipulations, lease notices, special conditions, or restrictions that will be made a part of the lease at
the time we issue it. We have also identified those parcels where the United States owns less than
100 percent interest in the oil and gas mineral rights, have pending presale noncompetitive offers to
lease, and are not available for noncompetitive offers to lease if they receive no bid at this sale. For
your convenience, we are also including copies of the stipulations, lease notices, etc. affecting the
parcels in this sale.
When and where will the sale take place?
When: The competitive sale will begin at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 8, 2004. The sale
room and receiving room will open one hour earlier so you can register and get your
bidding number.
i
Where: We will hold the sale at the Holiday Inn, Convention Center, 204 West Fox Farm
Road (I-80 and US85), Cheyenne, Wyoming. A block of rooms at the rate of $55.00
for single occupancy and $65.00 for double occupancy has been reserved for sale
participants at the Holiday Inn. For room reservations, contact the Holiday Inn at
(307) 638-4466. When making room reservations, please state that you are attending
the BLM Oil and Gas Auction.
Access: The sale room is accessible to persons with disabilities. If you need an auxiliary aid
or service to participate in the sale, such as sign language interpreter or materials in
an alternate format, contact Phyllis Michaud at (307) 775-6158 or Margaret
Lucero at (307) 775-6184 by May 24, 2004.
How will the sale be conducted?
The sale will be conducted by oral auction. You must make your bids verbally. The winning bid is
the highest verbal bid equal to or exceeding the national minimum acceptable bid.
How do I participate in the bidding process?
To participate in the bidding process, you must fill out a registration form identifying the lessee’s
name and address that will be shown on the lease form and get a bidding number. If you are an
agent representing more than one lessee, you must register and get a bidding number for each lessee
you represent. We will begin registering bidders at 7:00 a.m. on the day of the sale in the receiving
room. You must display your bid number to the auctioneer when you make a bid.
What is the sale process?
Starting at 8:00 a.m. on the day of the sale-
• The auctioneer will offer the parcels in the order they are shown in this Notice, beginning
on page 1;
• All bids are on a per-acre basis for the entire acreage in the parcel; and
• The decision of the auctioneer is final. However, if you believe the auctioneer has made
an error or not acknowledged your bid, you must immediately make your concerns known to
the auctioneer. Once the auctioneer has opened the bidding on the next parcel available for
an oil and gas lease, the decisions made on the previous parcels offered are final.
The minimum bid BLM can accept is $2 per acre or fraction of an acre. If a parcel contains
fractional acreage, round it up to the next whole acre. For example, a parcel of 100.51 acres requires
a minimum bid of $202 ($2 x 101 acres).
ii
How long will the sale last?
We begin the sale at 8:00 a.m. and it continues until all of the parcels in this Notice have been
offered. The length of the sale depends on the number of parcels we are offering and the pace of the
bidding. We usually take a 15-minute break at 9:30 a.m. to give you a chance to stretch, get
refreshments or make phone calls. Normally, the sale is done by noon. However, there are times
when the sale goes into the afternoon. When that happens, we will take a lunch break.
What conditions apply to the lease sale?
• Parcel withdrawal or sale cancellation: We reserve the right to withdraw any or all
parcels before the sale begins. If we withdraw a parcel(s), and time permits, we will post a
notice in the Wyoming State Office Public Room before the day of the sale. We will
announce withdrawn parcels before beginning the sale. If we cancel the sale, we will notify
you as soon as possible.
• Fractional interests: If the United States owns less than 100 percent of the oil and gas
mineral interest for the land in a parcel we will show that information with the parcel. When
we issue the lease, it will be for the percentage or fraction of interest the United States owns.
However, you must calculate your bonus bid and advance rental payment on the gross
acreage in the parcel, not the United States net interest. For example, if a parcel contains
200 acres and the United States owns 50 percent of the oil and gas mineral interest, the
minimum bonus bid will be $400 ($2 X 200 acres) and the advance annual rental will be
$300 ($1.50 X 200 acres) for the first 5-years and $400 ($2 X 200 acres) for the remainder of
the lease term. Conversely, your chargeable acreage and royalty on production will be
calculated on the United States net oil and gas mineral interest.
• Payment due on the day of the sale: For each parcel you are the successful high bidder,
you must pay the minimum bonus bid of $2 per acre or fraction of an acre; the first years’
advance annual rental of $1.50 per acre or fraction of an acre; and a non-refundable
administrative fee of $75. You must make this payment in our receiving room at the sale site
either during, or immediately following the sale.
• Remaining payments: If your bonus bid was more than $2 per acre or fraction of an acre
and you didn’t pay the full amount on the day of the sale, you must pay the balance of your
bonus bid by 4:00 p.m. on June 22, 2004, which is the 10th working day following the sale.
If you do not pay in full by this date, you lose the right to the lease and you will forfeit
the money you paid on the day of the sale. If you forfeit a parcel, we may offer it at a later
sale.
• Forms of payment: You may pay by personal check, certified check, money order, or
credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover Card only). We cannot accept
iii
cash. If you plan to make your payment using a credit card, you should contact your bank
prior to the sale and let them know you will be making a substantial charge against your
account. This will help lessen any authorization problems on the day of the sale. If you pay
by check, please make your check payable to: Department of the Interior-BLM. If a check
you have sent to us in the past has been returned for insufficient funds, we may ask that you
give us a guaranteed payment, such as a certified check. If you pay by credit card and the
transaction is refused, we will try to notify you early enough so that you can make other
payment arrangements. However, we cannot grant you any extension of time to pay the
money that is due the day of the sale.
• Bid form: On the day of the sale, if you are the successful bidder, you must give us a
properly completed and signed competitive bid form (Form 3000-2, Oct. 1989, or later
edition, copy included) with your payment. This form is a legally binding offer by the
prospective lessee to accept a lease and all its terms and conditions. Once the form is signed,
you cannot change it. We will not accept any bid form that has information crossed out or
is otherwise altered.
We recommend you get a copy of the bid form and complete all but the money part before
the sale. You can fill out the money part at the sale. Your completed bid form certifies that:
(1) You and the prospective lessee are qualified to hold an oil and gas lease under our
regulations at 43 CFR 3102.5-2; and
(2) Both of you have complied with 18 U.S.C. 1860, a law that prohibits unlawful
combinations, intimidation of and collusion among bidders.
• Lease terms: A lease issued as a result of this sale will have a primary term of 10 years.
It will continue beyond its primary term as long as oil or gas is produced in paying quantities
on or for the benefit of the lease. Advance rental at $1.50 per acre or fraction of an acre for
the first 5 years ($2 per acre after that) is due on or before the anniversary date each year
until production begins. Once a lease is producing, you must pay a royalty of 12.5 percent of
the value or the amount of production removed or sold from the lease. You will find other
lease terms on our standard lease form (Form 3100-11, June 1988 or later edition, copy
included).
• Stipulations: Stipulations are part of the lease and supercede any inconsistent provisions
of the lease form.
• Lease Issuance: After we receive the bid form, all money due, and, if appropriate, your
unit joinder information, we can issue the lease. Usually, a lease is effective the first day of
the month following the month in which we sign it. If you want your lease to be effective
the first day of the month in which we sign it, you must ask us in writing to do this. We have
to receive your request before we sign the lease.
iv
• Legal Land Descriptions: We prepared this Notice with land status information from our
Legacy Rehost 2000 (LR2000) case recordation system. We are providing you with the
following information to assist you in understanding the legal descriptions given for each
parcel:
→ The township and range contains additional zeros. For example, T. 37 N., R. 62
W., is shown as, T.0370N, R.0620W (additional zeros underlined).
→ The section numbers contain additional leading zeros. For example, section 4 is
shown as sec. 004.
→ Lands are described separately by lots, aliquot parts, tracts, and exceptions to
survey for each section.
→ Railroad rights-of-way exclusions are described as to only those lands affected.
→ LR2000 will code a ½ township as a 2 in the database. This 2 will appear as the
last digit in the number. For example, T. 14½ N., will appear as T.0142N.
• Cellular Phone Usage: You are restricted from using cellular phones in the sale room
during the oral auction. You must confine your cellular phone usage to the hallway or
terrace area outside the sale room when the auction is taking place.
• Other Conditions of the Sale: At the time the sale begins, we will make any rules
regarding sale procedures that we feel are necessary for the proper conduct of the sale.
NONCOMPETITIVE OFFERS TO LEASE
What parcels are available for noncompetitive offers to lease?
Unless stated in this Notice, parcels that do not receive a bid at the competitive sale are available for
noncompetitive offers to lease beginning the first business day following the day of the sale. If not
withdrawn, these parcels are available for noncompetitive offers to lease for a period of two years
following the day of the sale.
How do I file a noncompetitive offer to lease after the sale?
If you want to file a noncompetitive offer to lease on an unsold parcel, you must give us-
• Three copies of form 3100-11, Offer to Lease and Lease for Oil and Gas properly
completed and signed. (Note: We will accept reproductions of the official form,
including computer generated forms, that are legible and have no additions, omissions,
v
other changes, or advertising. If you copy this form you must copy both sides on one
page. If you copy the form on 2 pages or use an obsolete lease form, we will reject your
offer). You must describe the lands in your offer as specified in our regulations at 43 CFR
§3110.5; and
• Your payment for the total of the $75 filing fee and, except for noncompetitive future
interest lease offers, the first year’s advance rental computed at $1.50 per acre or fraction of
an acre. Remember to round up any fractional acreage when you calculate the rental
amount.
For your convenience, a drop box will be available at the sale site on the day of the sale to receive
your noncompetitive offers to lease. We consider all offers filed the day of a sale and the first
business day after it, for any of the unsold parcels, to be filed as of 9:00 a.m. the first business day
following the day of the sale. If a parcel receives more than one offer, we will hold a drawing to
pick the winner (see 43 CFR 1822.17). We have identified those parcels that have pending presale
offers. A noncompetitive presale offer to lease has priority over any other noncompetitive offer to
lease filed after the sale.
How do I file a noncompetitive presale offer?
Under our regulations at 43 CFR 3110.1(a), you may file a noncompetitive presale offer to lease for
lands that-
• Are available; and
• Have not been under lease during the previous one-year period; or
• Have not been included in a competitive lease sale within the previous two-year period.
Your noncompetitive presale offer to lease must be filed prior to the official posting of this sale
Notice. If your presale offer was timely filed, was complete and we do not receive a bid for the
parcel that contains the lands in your offer, it has priority over any other noncompetitive offer to
lease for that parcel filed after the sale. Your presale offer to lease is your consent to the terms and
conditions of the lease, including any additional stipulations. If you want to file a presale offer,
follow the guidance listed above for filing a noncompetitive offer after the sale and the regulations at
43 CFR 3110.1(a).
When are the next competitive oil and gas lease sales scheduled?
We have tentatively scheduled our next four competitive lease sales for August 3, 2004, October 5,
2004, December 7, 2004, and February 1, 2005.
How can I find out the results of this sale?
We will post the sale results in our Public Room. You can buy ($5) a printed copy of the results list
by contacting our Public Information Section at (307) 775-6256. Both this sale Notice and the
vi
results list will be available at our public internet site: http://www.wy.blm.gov.
May I protest BLM’s decision to offer the lands in this Notice for lease?
• If you are adversely affected by our decision to offer the lands in this Notice for lease,
you may protest the decision to the State Director under regulation 43 CFR 3120.1-3.
You must submit your protest in writing to the State Director during our regular business
hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday, excluding Federal
holidays, prior to the day of the sale. If you file your protest by means of a facsimile
machine (fax), the fax must be received by the State Director prior to the day of the sale.
Subsequent to your fax transmission, you must submit a hard copy of your protest to the
State Director. Regardless of the method you use to submit your protest (United States
Postal Service, courier, hand delivery, fax, etc.), it must be received by the State Director
during our regular business hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time, Monday through
Friday, excluding Federal holidays, prior to the day of the sale. Please note, you may
not submit your protest electronically via email. Generally, if we are unable to decide
the protest before the sale, we will hold the sale while we consider the merits of your
protest.
• You may review the decision to offer the lands for lease and the supporting National
Environmental Policy Act documents in our Public Room. Our Public Room hours are
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, except on Federal Holidays.
Whom should I contact if I have a question?
If you have questions on BLM stipulations, lease notices, etc., please contact the appropriate BLM
Field Office for assistance. We have included a map that depicts the boundary of each of our Field
Offices and a list of their addresses and telephone numbers. For general information about the
competitive oil and gas lease sale process, this Notice, or to receive copies of the bid receipt and
lease form, please contact Phyllis Michaud at (307) 775-6158 or Margaret Lucero at (307) 775
6184.

MULTIPLE MINERAL DEVELOPMENT STIPULATION
Operations will not be approved which, in the opinion of the authorized officer, would
unreasonably interfere with the orderly development and/or production from a valid existing
mineral lease issued prior to this one for the same lands.
THIS STIPULATION APPLIES TO ALL PARCELS
61
LEASE NOTICE NO. 1
Under Regulation 43 CFR 3101.1-2 and terms of the lease (BLM Form 3100-11), the authorized officer may require
reasonable measures to minimize adverse impacts to other resource values, land uses, and users not addressed in
lease stipulations at the time operations are proposed. Such reasonable measures may include, but are not limited to,
modification of siting or design of facilities, timing of operations, and specification of interim and final reclamation
measures, which may require relocating proposed operations up to 200 meters, but not off the leasehold, and
prohibiting surface disturbance activities for up to 60 days.
The lands within this lease may include areas not specifically addressed by lease stipulations that may contain
special values, may be needed for special purposes, or may require special attention to prevent damage to surface
and/or other resources. Possible special areas are identified below. Any surface use or occupancy within such
special areas will be strictly controlled or, if absolutely necessary, prohibited. Appropriate modifications to imposed
restrictions will be made for the maintenance and operation of producing wells.
1. Slopes in excess of 25 percent.
2. Within 500 feet of surface water and/or riparian areas.
3. Construction with frozen material or during periods when the soil material is saturated or when watershed
damage is likely to occur.
4. Within 500 feet of Interstate highways and 200 feet of other existing rights-of-way (i.e., U.S. and State
highways, roads, railroads, pipelines, powerlines).
5. Within 1/4 mile of occupied dwellings.
6. Material sites.
GUIDANCE:
The intent of this notice is to inform interested parties (potential lessees, permittees, operators) that when one or
more of the above conditions exist, surface disturbing activities will be prohibited unless or until the permittee or the
designated representative and the surface management agency (SMA) arrive at an acceptable plan for mitigation of
anticipated impacts. This negotiation will occur prior to development and become a condition for approval when
authorizing the action.
Specific threshold criteria (e.g., 500 feet from water) have been established based upon the best information
available. However, geographical areas and time periods of concern must be delineated at the field level (i.e.,
"surface water and/or riparian areas" may include both intermittent and ephemeral water sources or may be limited to
perennial surface water).
The referenced oil and gas leases on these lands are hereby made subject to the stipulation that the exploration or
drilling activities will not interfere materially with the use of the area as a materials site/free use permit. At the time
operations on the above lands are commenced, notification will be made to the appropriate agency. The name of the
appropriate agency may be obtained from the proper BLM Field Office.
THIS NOTICE APPLIES TO ALL PARCELS

LEASE NOTICE NO. 2
BACKGROUND:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), by including National Historic Trails within its National Landscape
Conservation System, has recognized these trails as national treasures. Our responsibility is to review our strategy
for management, protection, and preservation of these trails. The National Historic Trails in Wyoming, which
include the Oregon, California, Mormon Pioneer, and Pony Express Trails, as well as the Nez Perce Trail, were
designated by Congress through the National Trails System Act (P.L. 90-543; 16 U.S.C. 1241-1251) as amended
through P.L. 106-509 dated November 13, 2000. Protection of the National Historic Trails is normally considered
under the National Historic Preservation Act (P.L. 89-665; 16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.) as amended through 1992 and the
National Trails System Act. Additionally, Executive Order 13195, “Trails for America in the 21st Century,” signed
January 18, 2001, states in Section 1: “Federal agencies will...protect, connect, promote, and assist trails of all types
throughout the United States. This will be accomplished by: (b) Protecting the trail corridors associated with
national scenic trails and the high priority potential sites and segments of national historic trails to the degrees
necessary to ensure that the values for which each trail was established remain intact.” Therefore, the BLM will be
considering all impacts and intrusions to the National Historic Trails, their associated historic landscapes, and all
associated features, such as trail traces, grave sites, historic encampments, inscriptions, natural features frequently
commented on by emigrants in journals, letters and diaries, or any other feature contributing to the historic
significance of the trails. Additional National Historic Trails will likely be designated amending the National Trails
System Act. When these amendments occur, this notice will apply to those newly designated National Historic
Trails as well.
STRATEGY:
The BLM will proceed in this objective by conducting a viewshed analysis on either side of the designated centerline
of the National Historic Trails in Wyoming, except, at this time, for the Nez Perce Trail, for the purpose of
identifying and evaluating potential impacts to the trails, their associated historic landscapes, and their associated
historic features. Subject to the viewshed analysis and archaeological inventory, reasonable mitigation measures
may be applied. These may include, but are not limited to, modification of siting or design of facilities to
camouflage or otherwise hide the proposed operations within the viewshed. Additionally, specification of interim
and final reclamation measures may require relocating the proposed operations within the leasehold. Surface
disturbing activities will be analyzed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (P.L. 91
190; 42 U.S.C. 4321-4347) as amended through P.L. 94-52, July 3, 1975 and P.L. 94-83, August 9, 1975, and the
National Historic Preservation Act, supra, to determine if any design, siting, timing, or reclamation requirements are
necessary. This strategy is necessary until the BLM determines that, based on the results of the completed viewshed
analysis and archaeological inventory, the existing land use plans (Resource Management Plans) have to be
amended.
The use of this lease notice is a predecisional action, necessary until final decisions regarding surface
disturbing restrictions are made. Final decisions regarding surface disturbing restrictions will take place with
full public disclosure and public involvement over the next several years if BLM determines that it is
necessary to amend existing land use plans.
GUIDANCE:
The intent of this notice is to inform interested parties (potential lessees, permittees, operators) that when any oil and
gas lease contains remnants of National Historic Trails, or is located within the viewshed of a National Historic
Trails’ designated centerline, surface disturbing activities will require the lessee, permittee, operator or, their
designated representative, and the surface management agency (SMA) to arrive at an acceptable plan for mitigation
of anticipated impacts. This negotiation will occur prior to development and become a condition for approval when
authorizing the action.

ATTACHMENT TO EACH LEASE
NOTICE TO LESSEE
Provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA) of 1920, as amended by the Federal Coal Leasing
Amendments Act of 1976, affect an entity's qualifications to obtain an oil and gas lease. Section
2(a)(2)(A) of the MLA, 30 U.S.C. 201 (a)(2)(A), requires that any entity that holds and has held
a Federal coal lease for 10 years beginning on or after August 4, 1976, and who is not producing
coal in commercial quantities from each such lease, cannot qualify for the issuance of any other
lease granted under the MLA. Compliance by coal lessees with Section 2(a)(2)(A) is explained
in 43 CFR 3472.
In accordance with the terms of this oil and gas lease, with respect to compliance by the initial
lessee with qualifications concerning Federal coal lease holdings, all assignees and transferees
are hereby notified that this oil and gas lease is subject to cancellation if: (1) the initial lessee as
assignor or as transferor has falsely certified compliance with Section 2(a)(2)(A), or (2) because
of a denial or disapproval by a State Office of a pending coal action, i.e., arms-length
assignment, relinquishment, or logical mining unit, the initial lessee as assignor or as transferor
is no longer in compliance with Section 2(a)(2)(A). The assignee, sublessee or transferee does
not qualify as a bona fide purchaser and, thus, has no rights to bona fide purchaser protection in
the event of cancellation of this lease due to noncompliance with Section 2(a)(2)(A).
Information regarding assignor, sublessor or transferor compliance with Section 2(a)(2)(A) is
contained in the lease case file as well as in other Bureau of Land Management records available
through the State Office issuing this lease.
