Getting Started
New to reporting and paying ONRR? Your company produces energy or minerals on federal or Indian leases, and now you need to report and pay what you owe. These four steps get you from a signed lease to your first accepted report.
Learn how leasing works
Before the reporting rules make sense, see the big picture: how companies lease federal and Indian land, which agencies do what, and where ONRR fits between production and payment.
Setup system access
Request accounts for the systems you'll use to submit reports and payments. Start this early — access requests involve forms and approvals that take time.
Complete new reporter training
Free training on how to complete and submit your production and royalty reports correctly the first time — live sessions on a schedule, plus recorded courses you can take anytime.
Work through the new reporter checklist
A single list of everything to have in place before your first report is due: registrations, contacts, forms, and deadlines. When the checklist is done, you're ready to report.
