In its latest comprehensive report and digital platform titled 'Gulf of America Forward', National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) has acknowledged the Gulf of America as a prominent offshore energy region, setting standards for industry dynamism, innovation, economic strength, and national security.
The report has particularly highlighted the region's environmental stewardship through programmes such as Rigs to Reefs, which saw the transformation of hundreds of decommissioning platforms into thriving marine habitats. This significantly contributes to the region's reputation in producing some of the lowest-carbon barrels in the world, backed by path-breaking technology and consistent environmental progress.
"The Gulf of America is not a legacy asset, it’s a strategic platform for America’s energy leadership," said NOIA President Erik Milito. "It gives our nation a crucial edge in a rapidly evolving global energy landscape. As global demand rises, driven by population growth, AI-powered data centers, electrification, and industrial expansion, the Gulf of America is uniquely positioned to meet that challenge. With world-class reserves, advanced technology, a highly skilled workforce, and strong environmental stewardship, it delivers secure, affordable, and lower-emission energy to Americans and our allies."
