🇬🇧 English

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has received a petition from lessee Enrique A. Cantu requesting reinstatement of competitive oil and gas lease NMNM141519, which had previously been terminated. The lease covers lands located in Chaves County, New Mexico, and was subject to competitive bidding under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920. The lessee satisfied the procedural requirements for reinstatement: the petition was filed in a timely manner following termination, and all required rental payments accruing from the date of termination have been paid in full. Additionally, no new leases have been issued affecting the lands in question since the termination occurred. Based on the fulfillment of these conditions, the BLM is proposing to reinstate lease NMNM141519, effectively restoring the lessee's rights to explore and potentially extract oil and gas resources from the designated parcel in Chaves County, New Mexico.
