What is this bond?

The BLM Geothermal Resources Lease (Single) bond is a federal surety bond that guarantees compliance with the terms of a specific geothermal lease on public lands. It ensures that leaseholders fulfill their operational, financial, and environmental obligations during the exploration, development, and production of geothermal energy.

Who needs it?

Energy companies, developers, or individuals who hold a single geothermal resource lease on federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) typically need this bond. Designated operators conducting geothermal operations on behalf of the primary lessee may also be required to secure this coverage.

Why is it required?

The federal government requires this bond to protect public lands and ensure environmental restoration. It guarantees that wells will be properly plugged, surface lands reclaimed, and owed royalties paid if the operator defaults. Requirements vary, so applicants should verify all details with the issuing agency.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Providing an incorrect BLM lease serial number or legal land description on the bond application.
  • Assuming a single lease bond will cover operations across multiple separate federal leases.
  • Failing to increase the bond coverage when expanding surface operations or drilling additional wells.
  • Neglecting to verify the exact bond requirements and forms with the local BLM field office before applying.
