NOIA Statement on Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 257 Court Ruling
Washington, D.C. – National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) President Erik Milito issued the following statement after the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia vacated Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 257"At a time of geopolitical uncertainty and rapidly rising energy prices, U.S. oil and gas production is more important than ever to curb inflation and to fortify our national security. The U.S. offshore region is vital to American energy security and continued leases are essential in keeping energy flowing from this strategic national asset. Uncertainty around the future of the U.S. federal offshore leasing program may only strengthen the geopolitical influence of higher emitting - and adversarial - nations, such as Russia."American investment, jobs, and infrastructure development continue to suffer because of the continued expansion of the bounds of the National Environmental Policy Act by the judiciary. It will be incumbent on the Administration to defend responsible U.S. offshore production and to take the necessary steps, including the development of a new U.S. offshore oil and gas leasing program, to ensure continued leasing and energy production from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, for the benefit of all Americans."

New York Bight Can Be a Milestone Moment in American Offshore Wind

New York Bight Can Be a Milestone Moment in American Offshore Wind
Washington, D.C. – National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) President Erik Milito issued the following statement after the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management issued the Final Sale Notice for the New York Bight offshore wind lease sale:
“The New York Bight offshore wind lease sale is much anticipated and long awaited. It has been more than three years since the “bidding bonanza” lease sale offshore Massachusetts, and now we finally have a set date for what will be an incredible energy and economic opportunity. With their large economies and massive populations, New York and New Jersey are two coastal states critical to the development of American offshore wind. The benefits of the lease sale will go beyond New York and New Jersey and will support jobs and businesses throughout the U.S.
“We are just scratching the surface of what American offshore wind will achieve. NOIA applauds Interior and encourages them to keep up the momentum so that critical investments have the certainty needed to support our supply chain, ports, workers, and climate ambitions."

NOIA Releases Carbon Capture, Use, and Storage (CCUS) Policy Paper

NOIA Releases Carbon Capture, Use, and Storage (CCUS) Policy PaperThe U.S. Gulf of Mexico Offers a Unique Opportunity for American CCUS Leadership
Washington, D.C. – The National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) today released the policy paper, Carbon Capture, Use, & Storage: An Economic, Employment, & Climate Opportunity for the U.S Offshore Region. Along with key policy recommendations, the document details the vast advantages that the deployment of carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico can provide our nation as we work to meet ambitious emissions reduction targets to address climate change.“The U.S. Gulf Coast region offers unique advantages as an emerging global hub for CCUS. The full supply chain of energy companies in the region has the engineering experience, expertise, and vision to deploy CCUS projects offshore with the scale and efficiency necessary for success,” said NOIA president Erik Milito. “The geology of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico makes CO2 storage attractive but, as with any capital-intensive industry, the U.S. CCUS sector requires certainty and predictability in the regulatory system, both at the state and federal level. The technical and commercial feasibility of CCUS is being demonstrated on the global stage and the right policies can enable the advancement of this remarkable emissions reduction opportunity here at home.”The International Energy Agency says that CCUS provides an “important opportunity to achieve deep carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reductions.” The U.S Gulf of Mexico offers tremendous advantages and can accelerate the emerging U.S. CCUS sector and strengthen American leadership thanks to several unique factors:
- Vast geologic prospects for CO2 storage;
- Extensive and established energy infrastructure along the Gulf Coast and throughout the outer continental shelf
- A proximity to industrial centers for capturing emissions; and
- An assessable engineering and energy knowledge base and workforce, along with associated research, development, and deployment (RD&D) capabilities.
The NOIA CCUS policy paper details the promise and opportunity which the U.S. Gulf of Mexico offers for CCUS and highlights the policies the Administration and Congress, as well as states, should support to make widespread offshore CCUS development and deployment a reality in the U.S.The full policy paper can be downloaded here.

Senate Energy & Natural Resources Build Back Better Text Supports Low Carbon American Energy

Senate Energy & Natural Resources Build Back Better Text Supports Low Carbon American Energy
Washington, D.C. – National Ocean Industries Association President Erik Milito issued the following statement after the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources released its final version of its budget reconciliation text late Friday afternoon:
“While we are still reviewing the text, we appreciate Senator Manchin and the Energy & Natural Resources Committee’s efforts on the Build Back Better Act’s energy language. The Build Back Better Act should support offshore wind and carbon capture and storage policies, while also avoiding punitive provisions that price out – and lock out – American offshore oil and gas production. The latest text makes important improvements for promoting climate solutions and for eliminating adverse provisions that would have served to damage investment in U.S. energy projects, reduce employment, and harm our energy and national security.
“We look forward to continuing to work with Congress to ensure U.S. energy policy promotes affordable, reliable energy for all Americans, while continuously reducing emissions. It is critical to get this right for the sake of a 21st Century energy economy.”
