In FY 2008, the Dept. of the Interior collected over $22 billion in royalties and other fees related to oil and gas. Within Interior, the Bureau of Land Mgmt. manages onshore fed. oil and gas leases, and the Minerals Mgmt. Service¿s (MMS) manages offshore leases. A fed. lease gives the lessee rights to explore for and develop the lease¿s oil and gas resources. MMS is responsible for collecting royalties for oil and gas produced from both onshore and offshore leases. This report focus on Interior¿s: (1) policies for oil and gas leasing; (2) oversight of oil and gas production; (3) royalty regime and policies to boost oil and gas development; (4) oil and gas information technology systems; and (5) royalty-in-kind program. Charts and tables.

The catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has drawn national attention to the exploration and production of oil and gas from leases on federal lands and waters. Several bureaus of the Dept. of the Interior oversee onshore and offshore oil and gas activities, and collects revenues from oil and gas produced. In response to the recent oil spill, the Sec. of the Interior has proposed reorg. several bureaus. This testimony explains how the auditor¿s recommend. can provide guidance on how to achieve effective oversight of federal oil and gas management by improving: (1) technical expertise in the agency; (2) performance of analyses and reviews; (3) enforcement of laws and reg¿s.; (4) public access to info.; and (5) the degree of independence in the agency.

Federal and state regulatory agencies manage and oversee the development of federal and Indian oil and gas resources by issuing rules and guidance, reviewing drilling applications, and inspecting wells to ensure compliance with environmental, safety, and other regulations. In fiscal year 2013, federal and Indian energy production, including oil and gas, generated almost $15 billion in revenue. Recent advances in drilling technologies have greatly expanded the ability to develop oil and gas resources, particularly from shale and tight sandstone rock formations. GAO was asked to review oversight of federal and Indian oil and gas resources. This report (1) discusses the changes to federal and selected state agencies' rules over the past 5 years and (2) examines the effectiveness of BLM's management and oversight of federal and Indian resources. GAO reviewed federal and selected state agencies' rules and guidance, data from federal agencies, and other documentation. GAO selected a sample of 14 states based, in part, on their involvement with oil and gas development. This information cannot be generalized to all states. GAO recommends that, among other things, BLM ensure that its rules governing oil and gas development are consistent with technological advances, improve coordination of inspections with states, and improve the timeliness of revenue sharing agreement reviews.

The catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has drawn attention to the exploration and production of oil and gas from leases on federal lands and waters. The Dept. of the Interior oversees oil and gas activities on federal lands and waters. Onshore, the Bureau of Land Mgmt. has oversight responsibilities. Offshore, the newly created Bureau of Ocean Energy Mgmt., Regulation, and Enforcement(BOEMRE), has oversight responsibilities. Prior to BOEMRE, the Minerals Mgmt. Service¿s Offshore Energy and Minerals Mgmt. oversaw offshore oil and gas activities. This testimony presents the auditor¿s findings in accordance with Interior¿s organizational structure prior to establishing BOEMRE. Charts and tables.

Oil and natural gas produced from federal leases generated over $6.5 billion in royalties in 2009. To verify that royalties are paid on the correct volumes of oil and gas, the Department of the Interior (Interior) verifies the quantity and quality of oil and gas, both onshore and offshore. This report assesses: (1) the extent to which Interior's production verification regulations and policies provide reasonable assurance that oil and gas are accurately measured; (2) the extent to which Interior's offshore and onshore production accountability inspection programs consistently set and meet program goals and address key factors affecting measurement accuracy; and (3) Interior's management of its production verification programs. Charts and tables.

"The catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has drawn attention to the exploration and production of oil and gas from leases on federal lands and waters. The Department of the Interior oversees oil and gas activities on federal lands and waters. Onshore, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has oversight responsibilities.

Prior to BOEMRE, the Minerals Management Service's (MMS) Offshore Energy and Minerals Management oversaw offshore oil and gas activities, while MMS's Minerals Revenue Management collected revenues from oil and gas produced. For the purposes of our testimony today, we present our findings in accordance with Interior's organizational structure prior to establishing BOEMRE.Over the past 5 years, GAO has issued numerous recommendations to the Secretary of the Interior to improve the agency's management of oil and gas resources-most recently in two reports issued in March 2010 (see app. II for a list of GAO reports). Overall, GAO's work in this area can be useful in evaluating potential strategies for reorganizing and improving oil and gas management at Interior. Specifically, GAO's work can..."
