Restoring Onshore Oil and Gas Production: New Leasing Rules

This bill aims to resume and increase onshore oil and gas production in the United States. This means the government will be required to offer land for lease to energy companies more frequently, which could impact energy prices and job availability in the sector. For citizens, this might mean potentially lower fuel prices, but also increased industrial activity in certain regions.
Key points
Requirement to immediately resume quarterly onshore oil and gas lease sales.
Mandate to conduct a minimum of four lease sales annually in specified states and other states with available land.
Introduction of a mechanism for replacement sales if original sales are canceled or unsuccessful.
Expansion of available land for leasing by amending the definition of "eligible lands".
