This section provides information on leases in the Pacific OCS Region. The Federal Government leases mineral rights to the submerged lands on the Outer Continental Shelf (beyond 3-miles from the State’s seaward boundary). These rights are conveyed by contracts referred to as leases. Each lease covers an area that is no more than 5,760 acres and is generally a square measuring 3 miles by 3 miles. Under a lease, a company has the right to apply for permits to explore and develop the mineral resources within that area. Before approving the permits, MMS carefully reviews all applications to ensure that the activities will be conducted in a safe and environmentally sound manner and that the interests of key stakeholders are effectively addressed.
