Oil and Gas
We typically hold two oil and gas lease auctions per year. A catalog of the lease rights being offered will be published on this webpage approximately a month before each auction.
The DNR is not currently accepting any nominations for hydrogen leasing; updates will be posted if circumstances change. If you have any questions, please contact Peter Rose at RoseP1@michigan.gov.
