HOUSTON, March 25 (Reuters) - Statoil (STL.OL) has been awarded the sixth new permit to drill in deep waters of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico since last year's oil spill, the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy said on Friday.
Statoil's permit authorizes a new well to be drilled in Alaminos Canyon Block 810 in water 7,134 feet (2,174 meters) deep, about 216 miles (348 km) off the Texas coast south of Texas City, the news release said.
