The development of offshore oil and gas resources in the Mid-Atlantic region will unquestionably impact coastal communities. Before this development takes place, it is necessary to identify the types of infrastructure currently available to support offshore development. Potentially even more important will be to identify what infrastructure is lacking and potential changes to any existing infrastructure needed for new development. The purpose of this research has been to examine the wide range of energy infrastructure assets that would be required if the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) of the Mid-Atlantic region were opened to oil and gas production. 230000 U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Environmental Studies Program https://doi.org/10.13039/100012475 M0119C0008 10.67297/9A1DBD https://boem.gov/awardpages/100157
