Deepwater Drilling Permits. Update now available.

A research update for the IHS report, Restarting the Engine – Securing American Jobs, Investment and Energy Security is now available. The research update extends the study’s examination of the volume of deepwater permit approvals through the period of April 10, 2011-October 12, 2011 (6-12 months since the lifting of the deepwater moratorium).
  • Update
  • Abstract
  • Key findings include:

    • The volume of permit approval has increased in each of the two quarters following the January 1, 2011- April 10th, 2011 period.
    • All together annualized Q3 and Q4 volume of permit approval activity, respectively, was 41% and 56% of the historical annual average.
    • On aggregate, in the 12 months following the lifting of the moratorium, the 51 permits approved result in an annual rate of approval that was 32% of the historical average of 151 permits.

  • Restarting "the Engine" – Securing American Jobs, Investment, and Energy Security

    This report presents the findings of the first stage of a longer research program that IHS CERA and IHS Global Insight are conducting to evaluate the pace of plan and permit approval in the post-moratorium environment in the Gulf of Mexico.

    We found a growing backlog of plans pending approval and a sharp reduction in plan and permit approvals that indicate that the new regulatory process is not yet working. The resulting activity gap translates into a lost opportunity that runs in the billions:

    • 150 million barrels of oil in 2012 (411,000 barrels of oil per day) from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico alone — five times the amount recently released from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve
    • $44 billion of US gross domestic product growth in 2012
    • 230,000 additional jobs in 2012
    • $22 billion improvement in 2012 wages and compensation
    • $19 billion realized from pent-up capital investment over a three-year period
    • $18.6 billion additional federal, state and local royalties, bonuses and tax payments over the next three years

    Restarting the Engine – Securing American Jobs, Investment and Energy SecurityAdditionally, the employment effects would not be limited to the Gulf States. One-third of the jobs created would be outside of the Gulf region, in states as far away as California, Florida, Illinois, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
