BUT.. FACTCHECK says almost ALL on Private- owned land!!!
AND during the last 3 years Obama approved Federal land leases 300% LESS then Bush in a 3 year period...Bush 15,095 leases on Federal Lands... Obama 5,568 Leases!
Federal lands, which the president controls, produced 31.8 percent of domestic oil last year, slightly below the nine-year average of 33.4 percent, according to an EIA report.
The increase in production last year came on state and privately-owned lands, which yielded almost 150 million barrels more than 2010.
In contrast, 2011 production on federal lands dropped by 83 million from a nine-year high mark achieved in 2010.
Obama’s commercial is accurate in saying domestic oil production is at its highest level in eight years. The suggestion of the ad, however, overstates the administration’s role in achieving these results. Much of the increase in production during under Obama has come from state and private lands that the president does not control.

And the facts are:
In FY 2009, however, the number of new leases issued fell to 2,072, according to the Bureau of Land Management. In FY 2010, the number was lower still at 1,308; and in FY 2011, the number was 2,188. In every year of the Obama administration, the number of new leases issued was lower than in Bush’s last year.
In 3 years new leases under Obama 5,568 new leases..
Under Bush.. from 2006 to 2008 15,095 new leases!
NEARLY 3 times the new Federal Leases under Bush then Obama !
