Government ends Royalty-in-Kind programme

US secretary of the interior Ken Salazar this week announced plans to reform management of US energy resources, including the termination of the Minerals Management Service’s (MMS) Royalty-in-Kind programme.

The programme accepts oil and natural gas from producers in lieu of cash royalties.
According to a statement from the Department of the Interior, the current Royalty-in-Kind programme "involves the federal government excessively in oil and gas markets and the Government Accountability Office has found the programme may not ensure fair return to the Treasury".
