HR 3061

The BRIDGE Production Act of 2025 aims to boost domestic Gulf of America and Alaska offshore oil and gas production by requiring the Secretary of the Interior to hold a series of lease sales. It mandates at least 26 lease sales over a 10-year period, with specific timelines for the Gulf of America and Cook Inlet Planning Area, and establishes a minimum acreage offering for each sale. The bill also includes provisions to streamline lease issuance, reduce royalty rates for initial production, and maintain a continuous leasing program to avoid gaps in lease sales schedules. Finally, it addresses judicial review of lease sale decisions and establishes a minimum number of lease sales to be offered each 5-year period.
