OSTI ID:6857197

As the Congress declares in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), the oil and gas production from the outer Continental Shelf (OCS) constitutes an important part of the Nation's domestic energy supply. (See Introduction, page 1.) The OCS is administered within the Department of the Interior, by the Minerals Management Service (MMS), which provides access to potential new sources of oil and gas offshore by conducting lease sales. (See MMS Organizational Chart.) Each year, on or before March 31, the MMS as mandated by OCSLA, presents to Congress a fiscal year annual report on the OCS oil and gas leasing and production program. In FY 1989, the MMS with its OCS oil and gas leasing and production program was the fourth largest producer of revenue for the US treasury at more than $2.9 billion. This report summarizes the leasing and production activities on the OCS during FY 1989. 11 figs., 10 tabs.
