New Oil Lease Form Tied to High Bond and Drilling Rules
Montana's Board of Land Commissioners adopts a new oil and gas lease form requiring a 200 dollar certified check upfront and a 5000 dollar bond. Leases demand 12 percent royalty on market value and mandatory drilling schedules with escalating depths, plus penalties or subsitute payments. Renewal rights hinge on prior drilling and substantial exploration expenditures, while the state may demand additional bonds up to 20000 dollars. Attorney General Rankin opposes the terms as too harsh and uncertain for future boards.
