Issues In Leasing Offshore Lands

For Oil And Gas Development





Despite the significant increase during the                           114837
1970s of leasing Outer Continental Shelf
lands for oil and gas development, accelerated
leasing goals were not met. Environmental
issues and limited industry interest in the areas
proposed for leasing were two major factors
that affected achievement of these goals.

Current plans call for further increases in leas-
ing through 1985. However, the controversial
leasing issues of the 1970s continue and may
limit attainment of these goals.

Interior should continue with its efforts to of-
fer more land for lease and to streamline the
planning process for holding lease sales.
