States, Native American tribes and federal programs will share $14.61 billion in revenue from energy and mineral production on federal territory for fiscal 2025, the Interior Department said Monday.
The total disbursement is about 12.6 percent lower than fiscal 2024, which Interior attributed to a drop in commodity prices. This year’s total is the fifth-largest disbursement since 1982, the department said in a news release.
More than $4 billion of the total goes to states, which receive around half of the royalty revenues from production on federal land within their borders, as well as portions of revenue from federal offshore tracts along states’ coastlines.
The two largest state revenue shares are New Mexico with $2.76 billion and Wyoming with $544.87 million. The federal fiscal year runs from October until the end of the following September.
