Sept. 16, 2010


Description

Overview
 
In May 2010, the U.S. Department of the Interior recommended a safety case regime (and other measures) to increase safety for deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. In September 2010, a final interim recommendation is expected from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOE; formerly the Minerals Management Service, MMS). The International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) is developing U.S. Guidance on HSE Case Bridging Documents.
 
Please join the SPE Gulf Coast Section Safety and Environment Study Group for an informative, lively discussion about the possible requirement of safety cases for U.S. offshore drilling. Panelists will include leaders from industry associations, the drilling industry, oil and gas exploration, and safety case experts.
 
The moderated discussion will pose some tough questions – both prepared and live from the audience.  For example, should a safety case regime be brought to U.S. offshore drilling? If so, should it mirror other safety case regulatory regimes (such as Australia, Cuba, Denmark, Faeroe Islands, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom) or should it be a U.S. invention?  Should safety case implementation be voluntary and self-regulated?  If not, what are the alternatives?
