.REGULATIONS OF DEPARTMENT
IN REFERENCE TO OIL PERMITS
»
-——■ -
The following summary of regula
tions issued by the department of the
interior concerning oil and gas per
mits and leases is intended to include
only such of the regulations as per
tain to the prospecting permits. They
do not repeat anything which is set
forth in the law, as the act itself has
been heretofore published in the Daily
Times.
The first thing to note is that the
granting of a prospecting permit is dis
cretionary with the secretary of the
interior. Any application for a p©r*
-*qpit may be granted or denied, either
in part or in its entirety, as the facts
may be deemed to warrant. This
means that the locators have secured
no vested rights by locating and re
cording their notices of location.
Applications must be under oath,
and must be filed in the land office at
Juneau. No blanks will be furnished
by the department, nor is any specific
form required. The application must
contain the following:
What Application Must Set Forth
1. Applicant’s name and address.
2. Proof of citizenship of applicant;
affidavit if native-born; certified copy
of naturalization certificate if natural
ized ; if a corporation, by certified copy
of articles of incorporation, with evi
dence that none of its stockholders
m'o citizens of a country which de
nies similar privileges to Americans.
$. A statement that the applicant
is Wot the holder of or interested in
more than four permits in Alaska.
4 . Description of the land by metes
and bounds, with the right in the de
partment to require a survey if neces
sary. If possible in nnsurveyed lands
such as in Alaska, the description
should be connected with some corner
of the public land surveys,
5. Reasons why the land is con
sidered oil land, with a statement that
to the best of the applicant’s knowl
edge and belief the land applied for is
not within any known geological struc
ture of a producing oil or gas field.
€. Proposed method of conducting
exploratory operations, which must be
in accordance with approved methods
of exploration, amount of capital avail
able for such operations, and the dili
gence with which such operations will
nroHecnted.
7. Statement of applicant’s reputa-j
* tion and business ability, as well as
experience in oil operations.
8. The application must be accom
panied by a bond with qualified cor
porate surety in the sum of $1,000,
conditioned against failure to repair
promptly damage oil strata result
ing from negligence and carelessness.
The penal sum may be increased by
the secretary of the interior.
S. The application must be accom
panied by $2 for every 160 acres ap
plied for; that is, $32 for 2,560 acres,
the usual amount located. This sum
shall in no case be less than $10.
Requirements Under Permit
The permit is subject to the require
ment that the permittee will use all
reasonable methods to prevent waste
of oil or gas, or the entrance 6f water
to the oil-bearing sands or oil-bearing
strata. The permittee must carry out
at his own expense all reasonable or
ders of the secretary of the interior,
and comply with such regulations as
may be issued as to methods of opera
tion.
All oil or gas produced before lease
is applied for by permittee is subject
to a royalty of 20 per cent of its gross
value," to be paid to the United States.
The permit is subject to cancella
tion by the secretary of the interior
for failure to comply with any of Its
provisions or regulations or orders of
the secretary thereunder, or to exer
cise due diligence in the work of de
velopment.
In permits in the States the time of
two years for exploratory work and
driving of well may be extended for
a further tterm of two years on proper
showing made, but the term of four
years limited for development work
in Alaska can not be extended. In
the absence of discovery of oil or gas
within the four-year period the permit
will thereupon terminate and the lands
revert to their original status.
