The Interior Department accepted bids on 19 offshore oil leases near the Louisiana coast totaling about 97.8 million dollars after 21 of 34 tracts drew bids. Forest Oil Corp led with 23.06 million for tract 2079, while a Signal Oil and Gas, Louisiana Land Exploration Co., Amerada Hess and Marathon group bid 15.38 million for tract 2097. Some small plots were rejected and overall 73,360 acres were offered in a drainage sale aimed at protecting oil deposits from adjacent production. The sale follows Interior Secretary Walter Hickel’s halt on similar sales last March after the Gulf spill. The government will collect bonuses and ongoing royalties from successful bidders.
