Operators pull back spend at US GoM Western Lease Sale 246
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
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.
