Active Oil and Gas Leases

Polygon data set intended to delineate active oil and gas leases on New Mexico State Trust Lands.

The oil and gas leases data set was built using semi-automated mapping procedures. Records pertaining to subsurface land parcels participating in oil and gas leases were extracted from the Land Information Management System (LIMS). These records were processed, using the State Land Office's Land Use Map Automation System (LUMAS), which copies NM State Trust Lands subsurface ownership data (based on the BLM's CADNSDI Version 2 PLSS data) and places the polygons into the parent Oil and Gas Lease layer. The parent layer contains leases at the PLSS subdivision level. The subject data set was built by dissolving the parent data set on the full lease identifier (UNIQUEKEY) while simultaneously retaining certain attributes from the parent data.
Polygons for the parent data set are primarily at the PLSS subdivision level. The entire subsurface ownership by PLSS subdivision is leased, therefore, there are no explicit lease boundaries other than what follows the legal description for subsurface ownership.
