BOEM Prioritizes Oil & Gas Lease Sales During Shutdown
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has announced its priorities during an upcoming shutdown. It will focus on planning for oil and gas prices in the Gulf of Mexico and future sales, as well as a 2026 critical mineral lease sale. This comes as Interior Department offices have developed shutdown plans that prioritize oil and gas projects over renewable energy work.
BOEM will continue working on 'priority conventional energy projects' during the government shutdown. This includes planning for an upcoming oil and gas prices sale in the Gulf of Mexico and future sales. Additionally, BOEM will work on a 2026 critical mineral lease sale. The work will be done on an 'as-needed basis' and funded with leftover budget money.
The Interior Department's shutdown plans prioritize oil and gas projects over renewable energy work. This involves various authorities and persons within the Ministry of Interior's closure plans. These include the Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources, the Syrian Petroleum Company, the CEO of this company, representatives from the Supreme Council for Economic Development, the Finance Ministry, the Ministry of Economy and Domestic Trade, the Syrian Investment Authority, as well as legal and sector-specific experts.
