In New Orleans, oilmen bid 76.6 million total for 49 Gulf of Mexico seafloor tracts off Texas and Louisiana. The Interior sale, labeled a junk sale, saw many previously rejected tracts attract low responses, with 22 bids from 43. The top bid reached 7.8 million for a 5,000 acre tract near Grand Isle. Yale Johnson cautioned weeks may pass before acceptance.
