Can tax payments on lease bonus money be spread out over several years?
Here’s the IRS statements on the topic: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-news/FS-13-06.pdf
This seems to indicate that one probably ought to report what the Oil Company (Lessee) says on the Form 1099 they send you (or supposed to send you).

NO - you are a cash basis taxpayer and the lease bonus is ordinary income in the year the check is dated.
Pay your taxes by Estimated taxes 4 times a year
That helps Keith spreading the payment on your royalties
