OSTI ID:91558

The report discusses the history and consequent development of the oil and gas industry on the Outer Continental Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. The report traces the events and technological development that preceded and allowed that development, as well as the national and international events that shaped and limited offshore development in the Gulf of Mexico. The impacts of that development in general and of the Federal Outer Continental Shelf leasing program, initiated in 1954, in particular are also discussed.
