Notice
Summary
The government is setting new rules for big oil companies bidding on offshore drilling spots from November 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026. Certain groups of companies can’t team up to bid against each other, keeping the playing field fair. This affects major players like BP, Chevron, Exxon, and Shell, and could change how much money they spend or make during these lease sales.
