Interior Dept. Explores Oil and Gas Leases in Alaska's Cook Inlet

摘要

The U.S. Department of the Interior, as part of the Obama administration's focus on expanding responsible oil and gas development, is seeking input from industry to determine interest in oil and gas exploration off the coast of South-Central Alaska — a key step in the planning process for a potential oil and natural gas lease sale in the Cook Inlet Planning Area. This is the latest step by the White House toward responsible production in Alaska's offshore areas and builds on broader steps to increase responsible production in Alaska.
