Atlantic Information

The Bureau's Atlantic OCS Area is divided into four planning areas along the Atlantic seaboard:

bullet North Atlantic
bullet Mid-Atlantic
bullet South Atlantic
bullet Straits of Florida

Ten oil and gas lease sales were held in the Atlantic during 1976 and 1983. Forty-seven exploratory wells were drilled. Only five wells discovered hydrocarbons. These five wells were offshore New Jersey and were abandoned as non-commercial. A summary document  of the eight wells drilled in the North Atlantic is currently available. Reports on each of the eight wells drilled in the North Atlantic are available.
