BOEM Oil and Gas Lease Sales
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is due to receive comments on draft supplemental environmental reviews for two Gulf of Mexico oil and gas lease sales. The reviews will inform the processes for lease sales 259 and 261, which the agency is required to hold by the end of March and September 2023, respectively, to comply with the Inflation Reduction Act enacted in August. In September, the agency announced it has accepted 307 valid high bids from lease sale 257 in the Gulf of Mexico, totaling about $190 million, pursuant to the act.
