Exploring for Hydrocarbon in the Eastern Gulf Of Mexico
|
On the 9th June in Washington, a resolution was passed before a Senate committee to approve the opening of the eastern Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas exploration. The provision was part of a broader energy bill passed in the Senate Energy and National Resources Committee which will end the drilling ban across most of the eastern Gulf waters and allow leasing outside a 45 mile buffer zone maintained off most of Florida's coast. This provision follows last year’s announcement by Congress to end a quarter century old ban that prevented energy development along 85% of the nation’s Outer Continental Shelf extending from New England to the Pacific Northwest.
