The U.S. Interior Department has sent $353M to four Gulf Coast states - Ala., La., Miss. and Texas - under the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA), for wells drilled in federal waters off those states. Louisiana got $156M in revenue from offshore O&G production in the Gulf of Mexico for FY 2022. Most of the money is scheduled for hurricane risk reduction projects. Each state’s share is determined by which wells are within 75 miles of their coastlines. Alabama is to receive $49.7M. Mississippi is to receive $51.8M.
