Deep Water: The Gulf Oil Disaster and the Future of Offshore Drilling - Recommendations by National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling

More Information
Those recommendations are presented in the spirit of transforming America into the global leader for safe and effective offshore drilling operations. Just as this Commission learned from the experiences of other nations in developing our recommendations, the lessons learned from the Deepwater Horizon disaster are not confined to our own government and industry, but relevant to rest of the world. We wish we could say that our recommendations make a recurrence of a disaster like the Macondo blowout impossible. We do not have that power. No one can eliminate all risks associated with deepwater exploration. But when exploration occurs, particularly in sensitive environments like the Gulf of Mexico or the Arctic, the country has an obligation to make responsible decisions regarding the benefits and risks.

Deep Water: The Gulf Oil Disaster and the Future of Offshore Drilling - Report to the President

More Information
On May 22, 2010, President Barack Obama announced the creation of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling: an independent, nonpartisan entity, directed to provide a thorough analysis and impartial judgment. The President charged the Commission to determine the causes of the disaster, and to improve the country’s ability to respond to spills, and to recommend reforms to make offshore energy production safer. And the President said we were to follow the facts wherever they led.  This report is the result of an intense six-month effort to fulfill the President’s charge.

Oil-Spill Risk Analysis: Contingency Planning Statistics for ...

More Information
The Federal Government offers U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lands in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) for oil and gas leasing. Because oil spills may occur from activities associated with offshore oil exploration, production, and transportation resulting from these lease sales, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) has conducted a formal oil-spill risk analysis (OSRA) to provide spill statistics that can be used in contingency planning for these areas. This report summarizes the results of that analysis, the objective of which was to estimate the risk of oil-spill contact to coastal resources in the GOM from oil spills accidentally occurring from the OCS activities (LaBelle, 2001).
