石油设备网讯 据今日离岸能源4月26日报道称，根据2006年《墨西哥湾能源安全法案》(GOMESA)，阿拉巴马州，路易斯安那州，密西西比州和德克萨斯州获得了墨西哥湾近海石油和天然气生产所产生的部分收入。
DOI在周四的一份声明中表示，这总计2.15亿美元的金额是墨西哥湾能源安全法案第二阶段的第二笔拨款，比去年增加了14.3％。
这些资金将拨给各州及其各自的沿海政治分支，旨在用于沿海保护和恢复项目、飓风保护计划以及实施海洋、沿海或保护管理计划的活动。
最近任命的DOI秘书长大卫伯恩哈特说：“这些支出直接与海湾产油州和当地社区直接分享，是我们负责任地开发能源资源的直接结果。”
路易斯安那州将获得总计94,728,191.78美元，德克萨斯州57891,839.04美元，密西西比州31,723,855.95美元和阿拉巴马州30,595,109.50美元。
“今年，路易斯安那州将获得超过9400万美元的GOMESA资金。这对我们州来说是一个巨大的胜利，也是国会继续努力确保路易斯安那州获得离岸收入最大份额的结果。我们州强大的石油和天然气行业是美国经济和能源独立的关键，我将继续尽我所能保护路易斯安那州的利益，“国会议员Mike Johnson表示。

U.S. Gulf of Mexico states get $215M in offshore oil money
Under the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas receive a portion of the revenue generated from oil and gas production offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
In a statement on Thursday, the DOI said the $215 million amount – the second disbursement under Phase II of (GOMESA) – was an increase of 14.3 percent over the prior year.
The funds, to be disbursed to the states and their respective coastal political subdivisions, are intended to be used for coastal conservation and restoration projects, hurricane protection programs, and activities to implement marine, coastal, or conservation management plans.
The recently appointed DOI Secretary David Bernhardt said: “These disbursements shared directly with the Gulf producing states and local communities are a direct result of the responsible development of our energy resources.”
Louisiana will receive in total $94,728,191.78, Texas $57,891,839.04, Mississippi $31,723,855.95, and Alabama $30,595,109.50.
“This year, Louisiana will receive more than $94 million in GOMESA funding. This is a big win for our state and a result of continued efforts here in Congress to ensure Louisiana receives the greatest share possible from offshore revenues. The robust oil and gas industry in our state is key to America’s economy and energy independence, and I will continue to do all I can to protect Louisiana’s interests,” said Congressman Mike Johnson (LA-04).
