Industry appeals Gulf of Mexico court ruling, warning of major consequences for U.S. energy security
washingtonSeptember 12, 2024 — The American Petroleum Institute (API), the EnergeGeo Alliance, the National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) and Chevron U.S.A. today released the following joint statement File an appeal The U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland decided to reverse the biological opinion of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in the Gulf of Mexico. Under the ruling, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico biological opinion will expire on December 20, threaten Stop new and existing oil and gas production and events in the area.
“U.S. oil and natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico is a driver of energy security in the United States and around the world, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs and generating billions of dollars in state and local revenue.

This puts current and future energy production at risk and compromises worker safety and environmental protection efforts.
