Offshore oil bids and profits mischaracterized
A column by Jack Anderson claiming oil majors seized offshore leases is rebutted. Data from the Bureau of Land Management show small producers can bid alongside majors, with firms like Unidel, Drillamex, Samedan Offshore, Felmont, and Newmont among winners from 1973 to 1979. The U S government earned 83 percent of offshore value from 1953 to 1976, while producers received 17 percent, after heavy investment. Government receipts fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund for outdoor projects.
