Deepwater drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico get the green light

This week, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement has approved the first new deepwater exploration drilling permit in the Gulf of Mexico since last Spring. The BP Deepwater Horizon rig disaster at the Macondo well in April 2010 prompted the government to impose a moratorium on deepwater drilling, pending investigations and reviews of safety and environmental permitting procedures.

The Bureau approved the recent exploration plan, submitted by Shell Offshore (part of Shell Oil’s exploration and production operations) following its completion of a site-specific environmental assessment. It is a supplemental exploration plan for activities not included in the original 1985 exploration plan for the same lease (in the Auger field). New activities include a proposal to drill three exploratory wells 130 miles off of the coast of Louisiana in 2,950 feet of water.

5. I'll believe it when it actually happens

There have been way too many cases of the US attorney's office dropping cases "for lack of evidence". Unless one is a former major league baseball player....

8. If it actually happens that would be proper, but when there are

actual deaths involved, celebration in advance of actual indictment is not just premature, but exploitative of the families who had actual loss. Everything has a time.
