About

Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA). Probed 2026-05-02. **TWO distinct origins**: agency host owned by UtahSITLA for active and inactive Contracts; agency data services owned by plpcoadmin_agol for Ownership/LandOwnership_WM. 3 services via 5 methods: searchOilGasLeases (~851 active O&G and hydrocarbon contracts) ⭐, which is **layer 1 NOT layer 0** of Contracts_Oil_Gas (layer 0 is the 8-record 'Other Business Arrangements ML 90000+' admin holds for helium/hydrogen); searchInactiveLeases (~5,526 historical/expired), a separate Contracts_Oil_Gas_Inactive service; searchSurfaceOwnership (~15,968 polygons; Private/State/Tribal; agency BLM 3018/SITLA 5180/USFS 654/USFWS 33/DOD 37/NPS 77/UDOT 330/Tribal 190/Private 5658) ⭐; getLeaseDetail single-lease lookup by leasegis (e.g. 'ML22161.0'); getServiceInfo. **upstream quirks**: public data search results pointed at /server/rest/services/Contracts/UT_SITLA_Contracts_Active_OilGas/ but THAT URL returns 404. The authoritative live URL is at /mapping/rest/services/Contracts_Oil_Gas/. The class column has trailing spaces ('ML ', 'UO '). Active O&G dates are esriFieldTypeDate (epoch ms); inactive dates are esriFieldTypeString MM/DD/YYYY, so the handler reconciles via dateFromAny. The active layer has NO county column, so use bbox/near for spatial scoping (a county filter is silently dropped and surfaced in notes). The Ownership county column is lowercase 'county' (NOT 'COUNTY'), values UPPERCASE. production_status has 10 distinct values (Producing/Producing PA Unit/Producing HBU/Primary term/Extended term/Drilling/Pooling/Shut in/Suspended/Unit communitization). record_status is degenerate (all 851 = Active on the active layer; all 5526 = Inactive on the inactive layer).
