Part 4/7:

Revitalizing the offshore drilling opportunities that were deemed necessary for increasing production.

Burgum also addressed offshore drilling statistics presented by consulting firms, indicating that, with responsible practices in place, there is a possibility of increasing output significantly from regions like the Gulf of Mexico.

Addressing Land Use and Exploration

In a related context, a letter from the President of the Arizona State Senate urged the Secretary to reconsider land restrictions that inhibit the exploration for critical minerals and nuclear resources. Secretary Burgum responded that his department is currently reviewing all executive orders from the Biden era that were perceived as land grabs, with a focus on local consultation and reviving local economies.
