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.
