Notice
to Lessees and Operators (NTL) of Federal Oil, Gas,
and Sulphur Leases in the Outer Continental Shelf
Invitation to Minerals Management Service (MMS)
Industry Performance Measures/Best Practices Workshops
I am writing
to ask you and your company to send representatives to one of two, 1-day workshops that
the MMS will co-sponsor this November. These workshops will present the results of our
first Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) safety and environmental performance measures survey.
Operators representing over 80 percent of all OCS production responded to this survey
and have provided the industry and MMS with some valuable insights on the state of safety
and environmental performance.
The workshops
will also promote best practice sharing by highlighting the management approaches taken by
pacesetting companies of different sizes. Pacesetting operators were chosen in two
categories: those producing greater than 30 million barrels of oil per year and those
producing less than this amount. Two pacesetters, one from each category, will present an
overview of the management systems they use to achieve their good performance in the
following areas: production and construction personnel safety; drilling personnel safety;
prevention of oil spills and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
noncompliance; and MMS regulatory compliance.
I urge you to
review the attached workshop announcement and registration form. The announcement provides
additional detail about the workshops. This information will also be posted for your
convenience on the MMS Safety Page under the "Performance Measures" section.
Space is limited in each workshop, so I encourage you to confirm your registration as soon
as possible. Please contact any of the industry or MMS folks identified on the
announcement if you have any related questions.
