About

North Dakota Department of Trust Lands (NDDTL) Public data, covering state-trust mineral and surface land tracts. ~33,273 mineral tracts (8,911 Leased / 24,348 Available / 14 Not Available); oil & gas leases identified by `OG-YYYY-NNNNN` lease prefix in the composite `lease` descriptor (e.g. `Golden Valley - 138-104-36-NE4 - OG-2025-13594`). NDDTL does not publish OG-leases as a separate layer; handler filters with `UPPER(lease) LIKE '%OG-%'` plus `eligible='Leased'`. ~4,888 surface tracts (mostly grazing/ag, `AG-` prefix; LESSEE field heavy on grazing associations). Two surface-layer variants: a thin view and the richer Trust_Land_Surface (LESSEE / ANNUAL_RENT / PUBLIC_ACCESS / LEASE_EXPIRATION as epoch-ms). `effective`/`exp` on minerals view stored as MM/DD/YYYY string (with single-space ' ' for null), normalized to ISO by the handler. Counties stored Title-Case (different from ND DMR's UPPERCASE). Top operators: Continental Resources, Phoenix Energy One, Petro-Sentinel, Kraken, OKreek, XTO, Topaz Energy. agency host referenced in spec is offline; public data views are the working public surface. McKenzie / Mountrail / Williams counties dominate active OG-leases.
