So from your amateur non-bureaucratic point of view, An oil company applies for a Federal land oil exploration lease on say 01 /21/2021... first day Biden is in office.not true at all
Biden approves drilling for non federal as well as federal. Biden has approved a record amount of drilling permits for non-federal land

As a result Biden had more leases ready for signing due to Trump's efforts and THAT's the reason.
