Description
Description | ExxonMobil Holdings Corp. has relinquished more than 70 federal offshore leases acquired during Lease Sale 259 in 2023, effective June 2026, as part of routine portfolio management. The relinquished acreage includes High Island and Galveston Area leases, which are of interest for long-term carbon storage near major industrial emission hubs. This decision is influenced by the lack of finalized federal offshore carbon storage regulations, complicating development planning in federal waters. Despite this, ExxonMobil continues to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in the Gulf Coast, including onshore storage projects and the nation’s largest offshore carbon agreement in Texas state waters. |
