Federal records from BLM's Mineral & Land Records System, queried against the Census county boundary. Current to September 1, 2026. Federal cases only; private and state land are not represented. A lease or right-of-way that crosses a county line is counted in each county it touches.

Geothermal on federal land

173,827 acres under federal geothermal lease, 66 leases held without production.

84 authorized leases cover 173,827 acres of federal ground in Pershing County. 66 are flagged non-producing, which means that acreage is being held rather than developed. BLM leaves the production flag blank on 18, so the record understates what is actually online.

14 new leases on 41,139 acres were authorized in the last twelve months. Somebody is assembling a position here right now, and the private and state inholdings around that federal acreage just became the most interesting tracts in the county.

2 applications are pending. A pending case is a company that has declared intent in a specific place before doing its private-side land work.

398 leases on 862,617 acres have been closed out here. That cuts both ways: the resource drew interest, and prior holders let it go rather than develop it. The reason is usually resource, access, or economics, and it is knowable before you commit capital.

The private miles in between are the work.

Competing surface use

18,563 open mining claims compete for the same ground.

Mining claims don't stop a geothermal or right-of-way project, but they compete for surface, complicate siting and access, and each claimant is a party you have to deal with. 13,999 are active, 4,502 newly filed, 56 under review. Which ones actually sit in your footprint is a mapping question, and we answer it tract by tract.

Oil & gas

No authorized federal oil and gas leases, but 299 closed leases on record. The ground has been tried before.

What this page can't tell you

The private half of Pershing County isn't in any database.

Everything above is what the federal government controls. It does not show who owns a severed mineral or geothermal estate on private ground, whether that title is clean, what liens sit against it, or which families you'll be negotiating with. That lives in the Pershing County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.

How we work here
  • Free Eval
    A self-serve read on your target area in the county.
  • Area Assessment
    Flat fee. We pull the full federal record for your area of interest and tell you what's held, who holds it, and what to do next.
  • Diligence & acquisition
    County title, tract by tract, with surface, mineral, and geothermal estates run separately. Then we lease it.
