LMOGA Statement on Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024

07 22, 2024 by LMOGA

The Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association (LMOGA) President Tommy Faucheux released the following statement on the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024 introduced by U.S. Senate Energy & Natural Resources Chairman Joe Manchin (I-WV) and Ranking Member John Barrasso (R-WY).

“The bipartisan Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024 provides much needed permitting reform and certainty for the Gulf of Mexico energy industry. Oil and natural gas production in the Gulf should be a national priority. In Louisiana, we are proud to be the gateway to this American energy production. The current 5-year leasing plan for the Gulf of Mexico has an anemic number of lease sales. Thankfully this bipartisan legislation introduced by Chairman Manchin and Ranking Member Barrasso seeks to increase the number of Gulf of Mexico lease sales, bringing the hope of long-term offshore production and jobs for Louisiana communities. The Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association (LMOGA) applauds this effort and urges Congress to make this legislation a priority.”
