土地管理局宣布12月出售亚利桑那与犹他油气租约：两州83个地块共逾15.3万英亩
美国内政部土地管理局（BLM）10月15日分别在亚利桑那州Phoenix与犹他州Salt Lake City宣布，将于12月举行两场联邦油气租约出售：亚利桑那州一场定于12月15日，提供40个地块、共78,708英亩；犹他州一场定于12月17日，提供43个地块、共74,550英亩。两场合计83个地块、153,258英亩。
土地管理局表示，亚利桑那州地块的范围界定工作已于今年6月完成，相关环境分析的公众评议期已于9月结束；新一轮为期30天的公众抗议期于10月16日开始、11月15日结束。犹他州地块的范围界定于7月完成，公众评议期同样已于9月结束，30天抗议期已于宣布当日开始、11月16日结束。
土地管理局说明，出租只是开发联邦油气资源的第一步。经营者日后实际动工前，须先提交钻井许可申请，列明开发计划；局方会将申请公开供公众查阅，进行环境分析，并与州政府伙伴及相关方协调。纳入出售的地块均附有保护重要自然资源的相应条款。两场出售均通过网络进行，地块资料与抗议提交办法可在土地管理局的全国流体租约出售系统查询。
BLM Announces December Oil and Gas Lease Sales in Arizona and Utah: 83 Parcels Totaling Over 153,000 Acres
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), part of the Department of the Interior, announced on October 15 in Phoenix, Arizona, and Salt Lake City, Utah, that it will hold two federal oil and gas lease sales in December. The Arizona sale, scheduled for December 15, will offer 40 parcels totaling 78,708 acres. The Utah sale, scheduled for December 17, 2026, will offer 43 parcels totaling 74,550 acres. Together the two sales cover 83 parcels and 153,258 acres.
The BLM said scoping for the Arizona parcels was completed in June and a public comment period on the parcels and the related environmental analysis closed in September. A 30-day public protest period opens October 16 and closes November 15. For Utah, scoping was completed in July 2026 and the comment period also closed in September 2026; its 30-day protest period opened on the day of the announcement and closes November 16, 2026.
The agency said leasing is only the first step in developing federal oil and gas resources. Before any development can begin, an operator must submit an application for a permit to drill setting out its plans. The BLM reviews those applications, posts them for public review, conducts an environmental analysis, and coordinates with state partners and stakeholders. Parcels in the sales carry stipulations intended to protect important natural resources. Both sales will be held online, with parcel information and protest instructions available through the BLM's National Fluid Lease Sale System.
