Revenues from energy production at $14.6B for 2025

On the 2025 fiscal-year tally, the Department of the Interior’s Office of Natural Resources Revenue reported energy production on federal lands, waters and tribal areas generated $14.61 billion, the department said, ranking as the fifth-largest disbursement since 1982.
The Interior Department attributed the decline to lower commodity prices, with disbursements falling from $162.4 million in 2024 and $182.4 million in 2023.
Allocation figures show just over $5 billion went to the U.S. Treasury Department, $4.07 billion to 34 states, $2.98 billion to the Bureau of Reclamation, and about $1.0 billion to tribes and individual Native American mineral owners.
Among states, the largest shares went to New Mexico, which received $2.76 billion, and Wyoming, Louisiana, North Dakota, and Texas received smaller amounts, according to the Interior Department.
Looking beyond totals, the money supports public infrastructure, education, emergency services, conservation and reclamation projects, and historic preservation, the department said, noting 2022 revenues reached a record-high $21.53 billion.
