Published Wednesday, November 25, 2009 at 04:39 AM
The 2010 quarterly oil and natural gas lease sales will offer thousands of parcels in a dozen states, most in the West. The BLM’s Alaska State Office oil and gas lease sale will offer available tracts in the Northeast and a portion of the Northwest areas of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. That sale is scheduled for August 11 in Anchorage.
Secretary Salazar says, - oil, gas and coal will continue to play an important role in our energy mix, as we develop and expand the use of wind, solar, geothermal and other renewable sources. BLM will hold four more lease sales this year, for a total of 36.
