The fees apply to the revenue collected from selling that oil or natural gas. For onshore federal lands, the royalty fee is 12.5 percent, although there are exceptions to this rate. Rents are annual fees of $1.50 per acre for each year for the first five years of a lease; after this period ends, the fee increases to $2.00 per acre. Bonuses are the amounts collected from the highest bidder when land is leased. Other revenues includes interest, settlement agreements, and estimated and minimum royalties.
