2006 Guide to Offshore Drilling Oil and Natural Gas Minerals Management Service Outer Continental Shelf
Author: U.S. Government

This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides comprehensive coverage of offshore drilling and the work of the Minerals Management Service (MMS), including Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) energy sources of natural gas and oil from Alaska, the Pacific Offshore region, and the Gulf of Mexico. The Minerals Management Service (MMS), a bureau in... more » the U.S. Department of the Interior, is the Federal agency that manages the nation's natural gas, oil and other mineral resources on the outer continental shelf (OCS). The agency also collects, accounts for and disburses more than $8 billion per year in revenues from Federal offshore mineral leases and from onshore mineral leases on Federal and Indian lands. The program is national in scope and headquartered in Washington, D.C. It includes two major programs. The Offshore program, which manages the mineral resources on the OCS, comprises three regions: Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific. The Minerals Revenue Management program is headquartered in Washington, D.C., but operationally based in Denver, Colorado. The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is a significant source of oil and gas for the Nation?s energy supply. At the end of 2002, the U.S. offshore supplied more than 25 percent of the country?s natural gas production and more than 30 percent of total domestic oil production. The offshore areas of the United States are estimated to contain significant quantities of resources in yet-to-be-discovered fields. MMS estimates of oil and gas resources in undiscovered fields on the OCS (2003, mean estimates) total 76 billion barrels of oil and 406.1 trillion cubic feet of gas. These volumes represent about 60 percent of the oil and 41 percent of the natural gas resources estimated to be contained in remaining undiscovered fields in the United States. The OCS Lands Act requires the Department of the Interior (DOI) to prepare a 5-year program that specifies the size, timing and location of areas to be assessed for Federal offshore natural gas and oil leasing. It is the role of DOI to ensure that the U.S. government receives fair market value for acreage made available for leasing and that any oil and gas activities conserve resources, operate safely, and take maximum steps to protect the environment. OCS oil and gas lease sales are held on an area-wide basis with annual sales in the Central and Western Gulf of Mexico with less frequent sales held in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico and offshore Alaska. The program operates along all the coasts of the United States. The disc has over 11,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software and Reader software is included.
