摘要

Washington—The Obama administration will allow seismic testing off the East Coast to update decades-old estimates of undiscovered technically recoverable oil and natural gas along the south- and mid-Atlantic coasts, the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said Friday. In a record of decision, BOEM said it will allow permitting for seismic tests in federal waters from the Delaware Bay to just south of Cape Canaveral, Florida.
