美国墨西哥湾下一轮租赁销售计划于11月进行

据离岸工程网站7月17日消息 作为其2017-2022年海上石油和天然气租赁计划的一部分，美国政府计划在2020年11月举行全区域的墨西哥湾租赁销售。

租赁销售原本预计在8月举行，但由于油气市场低迷，现在已延期。

约7880万英亩土地将作为256租赁出售的一部分出售，计划从新奥尔良现场直播。

这将是2017-2022年外大陆架油气租赁计划下的第七次离岸销售。

256租赁出售将包括约14755个未出租区块，包括所有墨西哥湾联邦水域的可用未出租区域。

博姆墨西哥湾地区主任迈克·塞拉塔说：“墨西哥湾为我们国家的能源组合提供了一个基础性的角色，作为世界上产量最高的盆地之一，其资源的开发对我国的能源安全至关重要。”

Next U.S. Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale Planned for November

As part of its 2017-2022 offshore oil and gas leasing program, the U.S. administration plans to hold a "region-wide" Gulf of Mexico lease sale in November 2020.

The lease sale was originally expected to be held in August but due to the oil and gas market downturn, it has now been pushed for the fall.

Approximately 78.8 million acres will be offered as part of the Lease Sale 256, scheduled to be live-streamed from New Orleans.

This will be the seventh offshore sale under the 2017-2022 Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program.

Lease Sale 256 will include approximately 14,755 unleased blocks -- all of the available unleased areas in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

“The Gulf of Mexico provides a fundamental role for our nation’s energy portfolio,” said Mike Celata, Director of BOEM’s Gulf of Mexico Region. “As one of the most productive basins in the world, the development of its resources is essential to our nation’s energy security.”
