'Pronounced Recovery' for Oil Drilling in Gulf of Mexico
In the face of any lessons learned from the 2010 BP oil disaster and the impacts climate change up, oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is booming.
Drilling permit approvals are back to pre-Deepwater Horizon levels, and the future holds deeper wells held by a handful of big companies, according to an outlook on drilling in the Gulf from Quest Offshore, Texas-based deepwater oil and gas analysis and marketing group.

In the face of any lessons learned from the 2010 BP oil disaster and the impacts climate change up, oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is booming.
Drilling permit approvals are back to pre-Deepwater Horizon levels, and the future holds deeper wells held by a handful of big companies, according to an outlook on drilling in the Gulf from Quest Offshore, Texas-based deepwater oil and gas analysis and marketing group.
The future for the U.S. Gulf of Mexico is "bright," the group says, "with a pronounced recovery expected in all major market segments from drilling to subsea, floating production and marine construction."
The group sees a "robust outlook for deepwater development," and with new discoveries ultra-deepwater fields, the Gulf of Mexco continues to be the scene of the addiction to fossil fuels and our addiction to risk.
An Unconstitutional Rampage
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
