recently in the news - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143045391

ConocoPhillips had obtained those leases in the National Petroleum Reserve years ago and DOI eventually approved drilling on 3 of the 5 pad sites, which would be the bare minimum for development.

So that is where you'll see those "land leases" - up in Alaska.
