Happy Wednesday! Hope you have been able to get more prepare and cooking done for Thanksgiving tomorrow! Let’s get started!
We have been
keeping tabs on the current administration’s Department of the Interior and how
they are opening up oil and gas to help with America attain energy
dominance. Well, we have more federal
waters opening up to the offshore oil and gas industry.
Did anyone see
The Houston Chronicle’s Business Section on November 21, 2025, they
reprinted an article from the Associated Press titled, “New offshore oil
drilling planned for Calif., Florida coasts”?
In the article, it speaks on how the U.S. Department of Interior Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) will be opening up some of California and Florida
offshore as well as offshore Alaska in a new five-year plan with a possible 34
oil and gas lease sales. The BOEM
announced last week they have a new five-year plan for oil and gas lease sales
which includes six offshore lease sales for designated areas of California
between 2027 and 2030, and around 100 miles offshore Florida in designated
areas will have around seven lease sales. In addition, the BOEM has planned for offshore
Alaska up to 20 lease sales in designated areas including a new area in the High-Arctic
by 2030. The stakeholders and individuals
still have time to add their comments to the Federal Register 60-day commenting
period for the 5-year lease plan. We will let you know, if
we hear anything else on this offshore plan. If you would like to read more of the article on
