Phoenix Energy Acquires Over $10 Million in Premier North Dakota Oil & Gas Leases

Phoenix Energy recently made a significant investment in North Dakota’s energy sector by securing more than $10 million in leases at the state’s February 2025 oil and gas lease auction. The acquisition expands Phoenix Energy’s position as a key player in the Williston Basin and demonstrates its unwavering commitment to developing “American oil on American soil.”

The record-setting auction, managed by Efficient Markets on behalf of the State of North Dakota, garnered $13.6 million in total high bids, surpassing the previous record of $8.3 million in 2019. As reported by Efficient Markets, Phoenix Energy was the largest single investor in the sale, and as a result, secured some of the most promising tracts on offer.

The new leases include a mix of producing acreage, near-term development opportunities, and longer-term assets. An acquisition that demonstrates this diversification was a tract in Williams County, which commanded a bid of $2.5 million but has already generated an estimated $4 million in accrued revenue. This underscores Phoenix Energy’s commitment to investing in assets that provide both immediate cash flow and future production potential.
