ConocoPhillips to lease oil and gas rights at former Lowry bombing range for $137 million
ConocoPhillips on Friday signed a tentative agreement to pay $137 million to the Colorado State Land Board to lease oil and gas resources underlying 21,048 acres of land at the old Lowry bombing range in Arapahoe County.
In addition to the $137 million, given upfront, ConocoPhillips would give the land board 20 percent in royalties once the lease begins producing, a higher royalty than the standard royalty of 16.7 percent.
