HOUSTON, Dec. 7 -- The US Minerals Management Service again is soliciting indications of industry interest in Cook Inlet Sale 199, involving 2.5 million acres of federal land south of Kalgin Island 3-30 nautical miles off Alaska. Water depths are 30-650 ft.

It proposes a lease sale in May 2007. Earlier this year, MMS postponed initial plans for a May 2006 sale of leases in the area because of a lack of industry interest.

Cook Inlet Sale 191, held in May 2004, received no bids (OGJ Online, May 19, 2004).
