Score0100

Sourced recordEstimated or illustrative

Higher is more favourable on every factor; competition scores higher with fewer historical bidders. The combined score is the weighted mean of the five factors at the header weights. Magenta means caution: an estimate, a what-if adjustment or a flagged constraint. Source: BOEM BBG1 Final Bid Recap; each factor cites its own sources in the block record.

Blocks are placed on BOEM's protraction grid from their block numbers (rows of 44 blocks, each 4.8 km square), so positions are approximate to within a few blocks. Coast and depth contours: Natural Earth, 1:10m. Layer marks read each block's own notes: pipelines are named pipelines, gathering systems, connectors or corridors; platforms or hubs are a named complex, FPU, hub or platform; flagged constraints are blocks whose key risks ask to confirm the Flower Garden Banks exclusion or Rice's whale habitat.

Competitor view

BP Exploration & Production appears on the most comparables, 5 of 25

Built from the named BBG1 winning bidders and joint-venture partners in the input data. BOEM's bid recap lists only the winning bid on each block, not losing bids, so this view cannot show every block a company bid on, and a true win rate cannot be computed from this data.
