Oil and Gas Production Company Underpaid Royalties Owed to the Government

Report Number
17-0069

The OIG investigated allegations that Smith & Marrs, Inc., an oil and gas production company, failed to report mineral production and sales from Federal leases located in New Mexico, which resulted in a loss of royalties owed to the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). We conducted the investigation jointly with the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Special Investigations Group. We found that Smith & Marrs, Inc., failed to properly report oil and gas production and sales from Federal leases, which resulted in an underpayment of royalties and late payment interest.

Substantiated Violations of the Buy Indian Act

Report Number
18-0162

The OIG investigated allegations that two propane delivery contractors, one of which was American Indian-owned, conspired to improperly obtain U.S. Government contracts that are restricted to Indian economic enterprises under the provisions of the Buy Indian Act. Specifically, we investigated to determine if the Indian-owned company subcontracted 100 percent of contract performance to the non-Indian-owned company. We found that the Indian-owned company was awarded approximately 17 contracts, with a combined value of about $350,000, under the Buy Indian Act.
