Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog! We hope you enjoyed your weekend! Let’s get started.
Did anyone happen to receive the News Release from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) on March 9, 2026, their News Release titled, “BOEM Releases 2026 National Assessment of Undiscovered Oil and Gas Resources on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf”? In the release, it speaks on how Department of Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has released their 2026 National Assessment for U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OSC) which is published every half decade. The current National Assessment has estimated there is over 65 billion barrels of oil and over 218 trillion (Yes, you read right, trillion with a T.) cubic feet of natural gas, yet to be found oil and gas. The outer continental shelf includes four areas off of the United States coast: Gulf of America (Mexico) OSC, Alaska OSC, Atlantic OSC and Pacific OSC. The Gulf OSC has the most oil and Alaska OSC has the most unfound natural gas according to the assessment. The BOEM believes with current techniques for offshore drilling and production we have over century of oil and gas. We let you know, if we hear anything else interesting from the BOEM.
