What it is and who needs it.
What the mineral lessee bond covers
Wyoming leases its state trust and school lands for oil, gas, and solid minerals through the Office of State Lands and Investments and the Board of Land Commissioners, under W.S. Title 36, Chapter 6. A lessee files a bond as a condition of the lease.
The bond of lessee backs the lessee's obligations under the lease — paying rent and royalty on production, and operating, plugging, and reclaiming the site so the land is not left damaged. If the lessee defaults, the state can recover against the bond.
The required amount is set by the Board of Land Commissioners rules (Chapter 18 for oil and gas leases), and can vary with the lease and operations. It is not insurance for the lessee — if the surety pays, the lessee repays the surety. Confirm your amount with the Office of State Lands — pricing starts from $100.
