Troubleshooting
If rent is due on a nonterminable lease, you need to pay in ORPS without a bill.
Contact Paying if the above doesn't answer your question.
Late Payment Interest
Underpayment interest on oil and gas leases is calculated as compound interest. We calculate underpayment interest on solid mineral and geothermal leases as simple interest.
Unpaid Debt
We refer any unpaid debts to Department of Treasury within 120 days of delinquency. This includes unpaid orders, interest bills, and civil penalties.
Terminable Nonproducing Leases
If your lease is terminable and you miss your rent, your lease will terminate. You will need to work with BLM to reinstate your lease.

Lease obligations, such as Rent & Minimum Royalty, are due in accordance with lease terms. A Demand for Payment and FINBILL Invoice are sent only after lease obligations are not paid timely. Interest is accruing during this period as well. Please pay all lease obligations timely to avoid interest and further debt collection action.

Steps to follow if you received a bill for a lease that's not yours:
- Check MLRS to ensure BLM recognizes the lease is not in your name. Note: LR2000 is no longer updated, but you can access the updated Serial Register Page.
- If the lease is not in your name in MLRS, contact ONRR. Contact the name listed on the bill and your Lease & Agreement Contact.
- If the lease is in your name in MLRS and it should not be, contact BLM.
See Lease & Agreement Contacts if you can't find the answer in MLRS.
