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

82,970 acres under federal geothermal lease, 24 leases held without production.

35 authorized leases cover 82,970 acres of federal ground in Beaver County. 24 are flagged non-producing, which means that acreage is being held rather than developed. BLM leaves the production flag blank on 11, so the record understates what is actually online.

3 new leases on 6,061 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.

127 leases on 204,154 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.

Competing surface use

4,635 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. 1,015 are active, 3,614 newly filed, 6 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 902 closed leases on record. The ground has been tried before.

What this page can't tell you

The private half of Beaver 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 Beaver County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.

    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.

    County title, tract by tract, with surface, mineral, and geothermal estates run separately. Then we lease it.
