An oil services company said Monday it had no plans to conduct an aerial survey of part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska this summer. As a result, there will most likely be no new information about any potential oil and gas riches in the refuge as the Trump administration moves to sell drilling leases there this year.

Environmental groups last month had objected to a reported proposal by the French-based company, CGG, to conduct the survey in July. The groups said that the work, involving low-altitude plane flights to measure gravitational changes that could point to potential oil and gas reserves underground, should require a permit from the Interior Department because of the potential impact on wildlife. The department had said no permit was necessary.

But in a phone interview Monday, Christophe Barnini, a spokesman for the company, said that there was never an actual proposal for a survey. “It was never really planned,” he said. “It was just a kind of open discussion that we had within the company.”

“Definitely the company is not considering that kind of work” in the refuge, Mr. Barnini said.

The Department of Interior did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.
