## Summary

**Standardize offshore resource assessments** to strengthen U.S. energy security and guide cooperation on cross-border oil and gas reservoirs. The bill would set up a multi‑agency framework to map, model, and analyze transboundary hydrocarbon areas and global producing practices. - Workers and local economies: It would require an economic analysis of how developing undiscovered offshore resources could affect jobs across the supply chain, including direct, indirect, and induced job impacts. - Federal agencies and planners: It would standardize inventories and analyses at least once every 5 years, require an assessment of modeling within 1 year, and push use of advanced geophysical data and new tools like artificial intelligence and quantum computing to tighten resource estimates. - International relations and energy security: It would require an 18‑month report identifying transboundary reservoirs, review neighbor activities including Canada, Mexico, Cuba, the Bahamas, and Russia, and recommend cooperation, joint development, and dispute resolution options, including possible recourse to international courts.
