Oil & Gas Journal: Thirteen US Senate Democrats and Independent Bernard Sanders (Vt.) urged two Department of the Interior interim leaders to stop using Bureau of Ocean Energy Management employees to continue preparing upcoming federal offshore oil and gas lease sales during the partial government shutdown.
“We urge you to reverse the decision to continue this work and to direct any funds available to BOEM toward critical bureau functions that have been hampered under the ongoing government shutdown, rather than toward actions that directly benefit the oil industry,” they said in their Jan. 23 letter to Acting Interior Sec. David Bernhardt and Acting BOEM Director Walter D. Cruickshank.
