Record breaking Gulf of Mexico lease sale! What's with all the traffic?

Happy Friday! 

Well did anyone read The Houston Chronicle or see the reprint on MSN on Thursday, March 30, 2023 called,” Gulf lease sale sees $264M in bids.”   The auction on Wednesday brought in record bids since the lease sales in 2017.  The Gulf of Mexico Off-shore lease sale had over thirty companies which included Exxon Mobil, Chevron, BP, and Occidental Petroleum (OXY) as well as others and they all were granted pieces of the 1.6 million acres with the permission to develop oil and gas.  Two lease sales were part of the agreement to get the Inflation Reduction Act passed.  The second lease sale for the Gulf of Mexico will take place Wednesday, September 27, 2023, if all goes as planned.
