The U.S. government announced Monday the grant of a deepwater drill permit to Houston-based Nobel Energy.

It is the first new permit for deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico since the British Petroleum oil spill last year.

According to Michael Bromwich, director of the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, the permit was given because Noble Energy showed it could safely drill a well at the Santiago prospect, located 70 miles off the Louisiana coast.

The Noble well is 6,500 feet under the Gulf of Mexico.

Since the April blast aboard BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig that killed 11 people and is considered one of the worst oil spills in history and the imposition of new safety measures in June, Washington has approved 37 shallow water drilling permits.

Foxnews
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama says his talks with Gulf fishermen and oil spill experts are not an academic exercise. They're "so I know whose ass to kick."

One target for the presidential foot: Tony Hayward, the embattled chief executive of BP.

Obama was asked by Matt Lauer of NBC's "Today" about Hayward's past comments that "I want my life back," that the Gulf was "a big ocean" and that "the environmental impact of this disaster is likely to be very, very modest."
