Trump admin’s first oil and gas-lease sales nets nearly $40 million for US coffers

The Interior Department announced Thursday something important. In the first three months of 2025, the federal government brought in nearly $40 million in revenue from oil and gas lease. These are sales on public land. Let’s read more about Trump admin’s first oil.

The development proves the worth of President Donald Trump’s vision. It is to unleash American energy dominance, a top official said.

“This quarter’s lease sales demonstrate Interior’s unwavering commitment to fostering American Energy Dominance. We are grateful to those who produce energy on federal lands,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in a statement.

The original sentence is already in active voice. Here’s the sentence again for clarity:

We’re building on the commonsense, pro-growth policies of the Trump administration to ensure that public lands are used to their fullest potential to support national security, economic strength, and the livelihood of the American people.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which falls under Burgum’s auspices, leased 34 land parcels for fossil fuel development since January.

Those 25,038 acres brought in $39,007,609 in total receipts.

The feds and each particular state where the leases were sold will divide the revenues.
