Daines Applauds BLM for Supporting MT Energy, Increasing Oil and Gas Lease Sales
- September 16, 2025
U.S. SENATE - U.S. Senator Steve Daines released the below statement following the news that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) secured over $38 million in an oil and gas lease sale, including 23 parcels in Montana and North Dakota.
"The announcement from the BLM shows that President Trump's administration is committed to commonsense policies that are in the best interests of Montana energy. The BLM has focused on expanding America's energy dominance, which benefits Montana's economy and provides well-paying jobs for our communities. Thank you President Trump and Secretary Burgum for unlocking these oil and gas lease sales in the Big Beautiful Bill, which will have a lasting benefit in our state," said Daines.
Background:
Unlocking increased oil and gas lease sales was a key priority for Daines in the One Big Beautiful Bill, which President Trump signed into law on July 4th, 2025. His "Supporting Made in America Energy Act" requires four annual onshore lease sales in top oil and gas producing states, including Montana. Read more HERE.
