Federal land to be bid for oil and gas rights at Sioux Army Depot
The federal government will auction about 5000 acres of former Sioux Army Depot land near Sidney on December 15. Nine parcels in the southwest depot area will be leased with royalties of 12 to 25 percent on oil and 12 1/2 to 16 2/3 percent on gas. Officials say the action may spur further leasing if production proves viable, though long-held rights and earlier drilling history weigh on expectations.
