Oil and Gas Performance (Solutions) — required surety bond in Federal. Apply online in minutes.
A Federal Oil and Gas Performance Bond is a financial guarantee ensuring operators comply with all federal regulations regarding drilling, operating, and plugging wells on federal lands. It guarantees that the principal will fulfill their lease obligations and properly restore the land after operations cease.
This bond is typically required for businesses, operators, or individuals holding leases to explore, drill, or produce oil and gas on federal lands. Entities seeking to assume liability for existing federal oil and gas leases may also need to secure this coverage.
The federal government requires this bond to protect public lands, natural resources, and taxpayers from financial loss. It ensures that if an operator defaults, abandons a well, or causes environmental damage, funds are available to cover the costs of plugging the well and restoring the surface.
