Description:

Abstract:: This data set contains the locations of approved unitized oil and gas leases in the federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf.Because GIS projection and topology functions can change or generalize coordinates, these GIS files are considered to be approximate and are NOT an OFFICIAL record.
Purpose:: To show the approved unitized leases in federal OCS water in the Gulf of Mexico.The data is owned and generated by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, Gulf of Mexico OCS Region; data is updated on a monthly basis, typically on the first of each month.
Supplemental_Information:: Cadastre data is available at: <http://www.boem.gov/Oil-and-Gas-Energy-Program/Mapping-and-Data/Index.aspx> These data include Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs), and Supplemental Official OCS Block Diagrams (SOBDs) in pdf format, and digital spatial data.
