Energy Industry Appeals BLM Lease Ruling
Despite ‘Partial Victory’
September 6th, 2011 • Filed Under
An energy industry group is appealing a judge’s ruling that ordered the Interior Department to abide by a 60-day oil and gas leasing deadline.
Western Energy Alliance last week appealed U.S District Judge Nancy Freudenthal’s June decision to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Alliance spokeswoman Kathleen Sgamma said Freudenthal’s decision was a “partial victory.” But she said it didn’t do enough to force the Bureau of Land Management, an agency within the department, to properly follow the Mineral Leasing Act when leasing parcels for oil and gas development.
“Our victory quickly degenerated into the status quo, as BLM simply asked companies to continue to wait indefinitely, and then denied leases when they wouldn’t agree,” Sgamma said.
