This grant provides funding for a critical geologic assessment of oil resources on the scattered trust lands of the Muskogee (Creek) Nation, an Oklahoma Tribe. Awarded as a single-source agreement, this initiative was previously announced on the Federal Register. The primary purpose of this funding is to thoroughly evaluate the significant potential for new oil and gas drilling operations on tribal lands, given their proximity to extensive existing development. This assessment will enable the Muskogee (Creek) Nation to understand and strategically manage their natural resources, supporting future economic development and self-sufficiency.
