US Jobs from US Offshore Energy: A Goal 44 Years in the Making
on Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) issues.Mr. Guste and the other panelist testifying that day were urging Congress to recognize that the OCS contained amazing potential for energy development but that this resource had to be developed responsibly.Specifically, citing the increasing offshore oil and gas development experienced in the late 1970s, he urged Congress to ensure offshore energy development protected the environment, the valuable fisheries on the OCS, and the American taxpayers who own the OCS’ resources.Protecting the U.S. taxpayer was particularly important to Mr. Guste as he had

;s subsea program to become a world leader in a field that is emerging at the bottom of the ocean.” Texas A&M’s master’s program in subsea engineering was established in 2014 and is one of only two such programs in the nation. Subsea engineering involves offshore oil and gas development and production operations from reservoir to onshore or platform and its challenges, throughout the life of the field. “I am honored to lead the subsea program,” said Kondapi. “I know how important it is to design this program in such a way that we are sending top

American energy for American consumers. We can do much more of the same with more access to the OCS,” said NOIA president Randall Luthi. All three areas – the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific OCS and the Atlantic OCS – are currently almost entirely off-limits to offshore oil and gas development but could be included in the federal government’s next five-year leasing program. If the federal government begins holding lease sales in these regions in 2018, the three studies show that by 2035: Pacific OCS development could create more than 330,000 jobs, spur nearly

, making significant investments in new tonnage for the Jones Act trade, including the construction of its state-of-the-art tug fleet, ATBs and double hull equipment as well as a recent historic order for a series of new ConRos with VT Halter (see related story, page 38). But it is the shale oil and gas development that has come as perhaps the biggest surprise, and is a direct result of Crowley’s close relationship to its oil major customers to know their needs in regards to transport. “I think my dad and his management team found very unique designs of equipment, built a whole bunch and
