1Includes only those quantities for which the royalties were paid on the basis of the value of the natural
gas plant liquids produced.  Additional quantities of natural gas plant liquids were produced; however, the
royalties paid were based on the value of natural gas processed.  These latter quantities are included with
natural gas.
7Beginning in 2001, data are on a fiscal-year (October through September) basis; for example,
fiscal-year 2006 data are for October 2005 through September 2006.
2Includes some quantities of natural gas processed into liquids at natural gas processing plants and
fractionators.
8A significant amount of Federal offshore crude oil was diverted to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
3Data from the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS), are
for sales volumes.
R=Revised.  
4Through 2000, data are on a calendar-year (January through December) basis.  The only exception is
in 1949-1974 with production from Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1, which is on a fiscal-year (July through
June) basis.
Note:  "Federally Administered Lands" include all classes of land owned by the Federal Government,
including acquired military, Outer Continental Shelf, and public lands.
5There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1997 and 1998 due to the sale of "Elk Hills," Naval
Petroleum Reserve No. 1.
