Environmental Group Urges Court to Expedite Cleanup of Aging Offshore Oil Wells in Gulf of Mexico

The Center for Biological Diversity is urging a federal court to expedite the process of plugging aging offshore oil and gas wells and removing idle infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico. The group claims thousands of wells and hundreds of offshore platforms are overdue for decommissioning. They are calling for a new National Environmental Policy Act review of the risks the fossil fuel infrastructure poses to the Gulf to more effectively advance cleanup efforts. Enviros is asking a federal judge to order the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to conduct this review.
