    • OCS Blocks - Gulf of Mexico Region

    Metadata Updated: October 18, 2024

    Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) blocks serve as the legal definition for BOEM offshore boundary coordinates used to define small geographic areas within an Official Protraction Diagram (OPD) or Leasing Map (LM) for leasing and administrative purposes. These polygons are clipped to the Submerged Land Act Boundary and Continental Shelf Boundaries. Only the most recently published paper or PDF versions of the OPDs, LMs or Supplemental Official Block Diagrams (SOBDs) should be used for official or legal purposes.This data was created in the applicable NAD83 UTM Projection and re-projected to WGS84 Geographic. Because GIS projection and topology functions can change or generalize coordinates, these GIS files are NOT an OFFICIAL record for the exact boundaries. These files are to be used for Cartographic purposes only. This data should not be used to calculate area.
