 Atlantic Activities

 

The MMS Gulf of Mexico Regional Office conducts all leasing and resource management functions on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) for the Gulf of Mexico Region and the Atlantic OCS Area.

The Atlantic OCS Area is divided into four planning areas along the Atlantic seaboard:

  • North Atlantic

  • Mid-Atlantic

  • South Atlantic

  • Straits of Florida

Ten oil and gas lease sales were held in the Atlantic during 1976 and 1983. Forty-seven exploratory wells were drilled. Only five wells discovered hydrocarbons. These five wells were offshore New Jersey and were abandoned as non-commercial. A summary document of the eight wells drilled in the North Atlantic is currently available. Reports on each of the eight wells drilled in the North Atlantic are available.
