Control is a loosely used word in this sense. A significant amount of America's strategic oil reserve is stored in the Gulf region but that doesn't mean the crude oil is drilled or produced in Louisiana. If you want money from a government body for living in a state that produces oil...move to Alaska.

I know what you are talking about unlike these 'slapheads' responding to you, but your question is worded all wrong.
You are talking about about the offshore oil lease revenue. About 30% of Gulf oil and gas production flows through pipelines in Louisiana and uses Louisian infrastructure. LA doesn't "control" it, but the rest of the US would be in a world of hurt if the infrastructure disappeared with the rest of the coast.
They (Congress) don't give LA more offshore lease revenue for one simple reason:
It would be less money for them to spend and buy votes. When was the last time a politician turned down spending other people's money.
For the record, it was Earl K Long who screwed LA out of oil lease money because he made some shady deals to increase his political power. It has been like this for 50 years. LA used to get a much larger percentage.

they have twin citizenship (that's B.S.!) and characteristic many politicians of their gold and Palestinian blood coated wallet!! From 2009 to 2018, america is scheduled to grant Israel--the biggest recipient of U.S. suggestions--$30 billion in militia help. by using its unlawful 40 4-3 hundred and sixty 5 days militia profession of the Palestinian West financial organization, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip, Israel misuses U.S. weapons in violation of U.S. regulation to kill and injure Palestinian civilians, harm Palestinian civilian infrastructure, blockade the Gaza Strip, and build unlawful settlements in West financial organization and East Jerusalem. that's in simple terms in militia help to not point out the Billions given each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days for shlts and giggles !

Louisiana doesn't "own" any oil rights... it's the oil companies that do. Perhaps you should speak to them, instead.
