Petroleum Lands Division

The Petroleum Lands Division performs the mineral leasing function on behalf of the State Mineral Board, maintains state mineral lease ownership and property data, manages the docket of items submitted for Board consideration at its monthly meetings and maintains the official state mineral lease files.
