F. Request for Proof of No Conflict or Overlap

A party may request proof that a particular state mineral lease interest or state operating agreement interest does not overlap any other state mineral lease interest or state operating agreement interest by using the official form published by the Office of Mineral Resources which may be found online at the OMR Forms page. Proof of No Conflict or Overlap consists of a certificate issued by the Office of Mineral Resources certifying that the state mineral lease interest or state operating agreement interest does not overlap any other state mineral lease interest or state operating agreement interest (and where applicable) although the state mineral lease’s geographical boundary may overlap the geographical boundary of another state mineral lease or state operating agreement. There is a fee of five dollars ($5.00) for providing Proof of No Conflict or Overlap. LSA-R.S. 30:126(B).
