Pricing
The published prices used to value production and calculate royalties. Each price series below has its own linkable section — bookmark the one you use.
The value you use for pricing depends on your lease terms and the regulations under 30 CFR 1206. For Osage leases, apply the regulations under 25 CFR 226.
Pricing for federal oil and gas depends on the date of production. See valuation regulations to learn more.
Pricing on Indian lands (non-Osage) depends on the lease terms and location of the lands. Learn how to price oil and gas on Indian lands.

Indian gas major portion prices
- which are not located within an Indian Index Zone.
- which are in an Index Zone, but have an arm's-length dedicated sales contract.
- with a major portion provision or language providing the Secretary of the Interior with the discretion to determine value.
- which are allotted leases in the Navajo Nation.
Note: If you are using a major portion price, you will initially report and pay on your gross proceeds. We use these reported amounts to calculate the major portion price. After the major portion price is published, you may need to edit your report by the due date using the calculated major portion price.
