BATON ROUGE, 
LOUISIANA 70821 




By virtue of and in conformity with the provisions of Sub-part A of Chapter 2, Title 30 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, as amended, and other applicable laws, sealed bids will be received in the Office of Mineral 


Resources, LaSalle Office Building, Baton Rouge, Louisiana (P. O. Box 2827, Baton Rouge, LA 70821) on or before 12:00 noon on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 for a lease to

explore, drill for and produce oil, gas and any other liquid or gaseous minerals in solution and produced with oil or gas on the following described tracts (Tract Nos. 42009 through

42050 , inclusive) to be opened publicly Wednesday, April 13, 2011 in the LaSalle Office Building, 617 N. 3rd Street, Capitol Complex, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

All bids shall offer a “Cash Payment” bonus, as set forth on the authorized bid form, for a lease having a primary term in conformity with whether said lease is an inland or offshore

lease and the said bonus shall maintain the lease in full force and effect for the first year.

If the bid offers an ANNUAL DELAY RENTAL, which is mandatory for leases with terms of more than one (1) year, it shall not be for less than one-half (1/2) of the Cash Payment bonus bid and any bids containing an annual

delay rental of less than one-half (1/2) of the

Cash Payment bonus will be increased to the

one-half (1/2) amount. Any lease granted shall

be without warranty or any recourse whatso-

ever, either express or implied, against Lessor

with regard to questions of title, not even for

the return by Lessor of any payments received

under the lease or being otherwise responsible

therefore to Lessee. Under LSA- R. S. 30:127,

the Minimum Royalty bid cannot be less than

one-eighth (1/8) of all oil, gas or other

liquid or gaseous minerals in solution

and produced with oil or gas and saved or

utilized. Rights to geothermal resources,

free sulphur, potash, lignite, salt and

other solid minerals are to be excluded

from any oil or gas mineral lease and any

bid purporting to include those rights will

be disregarded as to the extent of those

rights only. All bidders are notified that the

Mineral Board does not obligate itself to accept

any bid, and that acceptance is at the sole

discretion of the Mineral Board which reserves

the right to reject any and all bids or to grant a

lease on any portion of the tract advertised and

to withdraw the remainder of the tract.

Act 8 of the 2000 Second Extraordinary

Legislative Session established two additional

fees to be collected from mineral lessees

(excluding state agency lands) on all mineral

leases awarded. An additional fee of $15

per acre will be collected and deposited

into the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries

Conservation Fund. An additional fee of

$5 per acre will be collected and depos-

ited into the Oil and Gas Regulatory Fund.

A separate check in the amount of $20 per

acre made payable to the Office of Mineral

Resources shall accompany the original bid

(inside the sealed bid envelope). Bidders may

use a regular check for payment of the fees.

The successful bidder will not receive the lease

executed by the State Mineral and Energy

Board until the fees are received. If the bidder

is unsuccessful, both the fee check and the

Cash Payment bonus check will be returned to

the unsuccessful bidder.

All leases awarded shall be executed upon

terms and conditions provided in the current

State lease form with all applicable riders

appended thereto a copy of which is available

for review in the Office of Mineral Resources,

Petroleum Lands Division, Leasing Section.

Certified check, cashier’s check or bank

money order payable to the OFFICE OF

MINERAL RESOURCES for the full amount

of the aforesaid Cash Payment bonus shall

be submitted with and accompany each bid,

and no bid, once submitted, may be thereaf-

ter withdrawn or canceled. Once the bid is

opened and accepted by the Mineral Board, the

accompanying checks or money order shall be

negotiated by the Office of Mineral Resources

and the proceeds disbursed in the manner

required by law.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Act 449 of the 2005 Regular Session of the

Louisiana Legislature requires that a prospec-

tive lease holder for a State mineral lease

be registered with the Office of Mineral

Resources. Registration with the Office of

Mineral Resources consists of filling out the

Prospective Leaseholder form and supplying

this office with a certificate from the Secretary

of State for the State of Louisiana attesting

that the prospective leaseholder is in good

standing as authorized to do business in the

State of Louisiana. UNDERSTAND that being

registered for nomination or any other purpose

DOES NOT CONSTITUTE REGISTRATION

AS A PROSPECTIVE LEASEHOLDER.

Act 449 specifically states that, “Only those

bidders who are registered prospective

leaseholders with the office of mineral

resources shall be allowed to bid on

tracts for the purpose of obtaining a min-

eral lease from the state of Louisiana.” If

an entity plans to submit a bid on a tract at any

State mineral lease sale, that bid WILL NOT be

accepted unless the bidding entity was properly

registered with the Office of Mineral Resources

prior to the lease sale at which its bid was sub-

mitted. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS

TO THIS REQUIREMENT!!!

Under rules promulgated by the Department of

Natural Resources in accordance with authority

granted by Act 106 of the First Extraordinary

Session of the Louisiana Legislature of 2002,

a fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the

Cash Payment bonus bid is required to

be submitted by separate check, accom-

panying the original bid (inside the sealed

bid envelope). Bidders may use a regular

check for the 10% fee. The successful

bidder will not receive the lease executed

by the State Mineral and Energy Board

until the fee is received. If the bidder is

unsuccessful, both the fee check and the Cash

Payment bonus check will be returned to the

unsuccessful bidder.

The successful bidder to whom the lease is

awarded who receives the written lease exe-

cuted by the State Mineral and Energy Board

shall return the written lease, duly executed

by Lessee (all of named Lessees on the lease

instrument), within TWENTY (20) DAYS of

receipt of same under penalty for failure to

do so of forfeiture of the lease, including the

Cash Payment bonus and fee tendered and

negotiated.

Bids may be for the whole or any particularly

described portion of the land advertised, but

consistent with Mineral Board policy. All bid-

ders are hereby notified that bids on portions of

tracts shall be described by metes and bounds

and be accompanied by a transparent plat

outlining thereon the portion bid upon. The

scale of the transparent plat shall be the same

as the scale of the OFFICIAL PLAT (NOT

THE F & A PLAT) CONTAINED HEREIN and

should identify the Point of Beginning with X

and Y coordinates (if applicable), the Section,

Township and Range, the Block No. (if off-

shore), the Parish, any adjacent existing State

Mineral Leases, and, further, should clearly

show the entire tract boundaries in relationship

to the portion bid upon. It shall also show the

Topographic features (Land and Water) of the

area in detail similar to the Official Plat con-

tained herein. Failure to follow these guidelines

in submitting a portion bid may result in outright

rejection of the portion bid by the State Mineral

and Energy Board at its sole discretion.

Notice is given that the State Mineral and

Energy Board will include provisions in

the lease to insure applicable payments

attributable to the lease property without

regard to adverse title claims, disputes,

litigation or title failure and the language

of those provisions is available to any

interested party at the Office of Mineral

Resources. Prospective bidders should

carefully examine the same prior to sub-

mitting any bid.

Some tracts available for leasing may be situ-

ated in the Louisiana Coastal Zone as defined

in Act 361 of the Regular Session of the

Louisiana Legislature of 1978 (promulgated

as LSA-R. S. 49:213) and may be subject to

the guidelines and regulations promulgated

by the Coastal Management Section of the

Department of Natural Resources for opera-

tions in the Coastal Zone.

NOTE: All bids shall specify the Cash

Payment bonus for leases as a price

per acre amount and an aggregate total

amount, whereby a bid for the entire tract

shall be controlled by the bid price per

acre multiplied by the specified amount of

state owned/claimed acreage advertised

for the tract, and a bid for a portion of the

tract shall be controlled by the bid price

per acre multiplied by the actual amount

of state owned/claimed acreage within

the polygon boundaries of the portion bid.

For purposes of rental payments, the price

bid per acre for the Cash Bonus, reduced

if appropriate to the rental price per acre-

but not less than one-half of the price per

acre bid for the Cash Bonus- multiplied by

the state owned/claimed acreage of the

polygon bid (specified acreage if entire

tract is bid; actual acreage in portion

bid polygon) shall determine the amount

of the rental payment throughout the

primary term, regardless of any releases.

For purposes of deferred development

payments, one-half of the price per acre

bid for the Cash Bonus multiplied by the

state owned/claimed acreage within the

remaining lease polygon, if any release

has occurred, but outside of a unit polygon

within which unit activity is ongoing, shall

determine the amount of the deferred

development payment.

NOTE: Multiple portion bids on the same tract

may be accepted by the State Mineral and

Energy Board, even though they overlap. In

the case of overlapping portion bids on the

same tract, each of which is otherwise accept-

able to the State, the State Mineral and Energy

Board will indicate which one of the multiple

bids on the same tract is most advantageous,

considering the royalty, per acre cash payment,

bonus, any additional consideration and what,

in the sole discretion of the Mineral Board, is

in the best interest of the State, and that bid

(referred to as “Bid A”) will be given priority in

having a lease issued. The State Mineral and

Energy Board will also indicate the acceptability

of other portion bids on the same tract, if any,

in the order of their acceptance (referred to

respectively as “Bid B”, “Bid C”, etc.). Once

the plat of “Bid A” ‘s portion has been rendered

as accurately as possible, “Bid B” will be con-

tacted and given an option to take a lease on

the remaining portion of his portion bid acreage

not overlapping “Bid A” ‘s bid portion, at “Bid

B’ ‘s per acre bid price (both as to bonus and

rental); and thereafter, each successive bidder

whose bid is otherwise acceptable will be given

the option to take a lease on whatever por-

tion remains of his portion bid acreage at his

respective per acre bid price, less and except

any prior portion bid acreage on which the suc-

cessful bidder has opted to take a lease.

NOTE: If you require accommodations due to

a disability in order to attend or participate in

a meeting, please notify the Office of Mineral

Resources at P.O. Box 2827, Baton Rouge, LA

70821-2827 or 225-342-4606 at least two (2)

working days before the meeting date.

NOTE: DEEPWELL INCENTIVE: It is impor-

tant for the continued prosperity and welfare of

the people of the state of Louisiana, that the

state promote the continued growth and devel-

opment of the mineral resources of the state

of Louisiana. It is the intention of this notice

to inform the bidders of the economic incen-

tives allowed by state law in order to enhance

mineral production to the ultimate benefit of the

state. In accordance with the provisions of LA

R.S. 47§633(9)(d)(v), Louisiana law allows the

suspension of severance tax on the production

of natural gas, gas condensate, and oil from

any well drilled to a true vertical depth of more

than fifteen thousand (15,000) feet, where the

production commenced after July 31, 1994.

The severance tax exemption shall start from

the date of production for twenty-four months

or until payout of the well cost, whichever

comes first. In addition to this Severance Tax

Provision, please refer to other applicable

statutes, such as LA R.S. 47§633, 47§633.4

and 30§127.1 for other incentives allowed by

Louisiana law.
