Natural Gas Intelligence (Feb. 7, 2025) – The Trump administration’s Interior and Energy Department chiefs took steps this week to remove obstacles to expand natural gas and oil drilling by pulling the plug on Biden administration orders and pledging to approve permits for long-delayed energy infrastructure.
Interior Department Secretary Doug Burgum signed six secretarial orders on Monday that included removing the block on future natural gas and oil drilling off the East Coast, eastern Gulf of Mexico, Pacific Coast and a portion of Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea.
