The US government will prepare a report on oil and gas resources in transboundary maritime areas, including with Canada, Mexico, and Cuba, to better manage shared deposits.
Methods for assessing US energy resources will be updated to improve forecast accuracy and extraction efficiency.
The act requires a comparative analysis of offshore oil and gas production practices in the US versus other countries to assess competitiveness and energy security.
Economic and environmental impacts of extraction, including job effects and greenhouse gas emissions, will be analyzed.
