Abstract: MMS seeks, through three pilot programs, to evaluate the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of taking Federal oil and gas royalties as an 'in-kind' share of production (RIK) rather than as a share of the value recognized from sale by the lessee (a royalty payment). MMS will monetize the royalty production it takes and appropriately disribute the resulting revenues. The electronic communications between operators and purchasers of RIK will support efficient transfer of RIK from the operators to the purchasers, resolve transportation issues, & make adjustments to the amount delivered such that the amount of RIK delivered meets
