NOIA Praises Administration for Progress on Next Gulf of America Lease Sale

Washington, D.C.National Ocean Industries Association President Erik Milito issued the following statement after Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum announced the next steps of Gulf of America Lease Sale 262:

"I want to thank the administration and Secretary Burgum for their diligent work in advancing the next Gulf of America oil and gas lease sale. We recognize their timely action in restoring predictability and normalcy to the Gulf’s offshore energy sector through this critical lease sale. The Gulf of America remains a cornerstone of America’s energy security, economic vitality, and job creation, supporting hundreds of thousands of domestic jobs and driving billions in investment.

"By moving forward with new leasing, the administration is hanging an 'open for business' sign in the Gulf of America—a move that will be a boon for our nation. NOIA and our members look forward to working with American policymakers to sustain the Gulf’s role as a global leader in responsible energy production."
