According to IM No. 2011-84, in order for the BLM to consider a Commingling and Allocation approval, a long list of conditions must be met, including that the proposed commingling include production from “only federal leases, units or CAs with 100 federal mineral ownership. In addition, each lease, unit, unit PA or CA of BLM lands or Indian minerals must be capable of production in Paying quantities before commingling is approved. In addition, the BLM now requires that measurement of oil and gas production for all federal and Indian leases must take place on the lease, unit PA or CA.
