Only five operators participated in the US Gulf of Mexico Western Lease (WLS) 246, placing 33 bids totalling US$22.7 million. This is the lowest number of bids in any Western Lease Sale since the first was held in 1983, as the long-term trend in declining interest in Western GoM was compounded by low oil prices. Spend averaged US$125/acre and US$26/acre for deepwater and Shelf respectively – half the per acre spend of the 2014 lease sale.
