Best Management Practices Workshops

The MMS and the Offshore Operators Committee periodically sponsor public workshops to share best practices for conducting OCS oil and gas operations. Companies that have earned pacesetter status are asked to make a presentation at the workshop.
 
Pacesetters are companies that demonstrate good long-term safety or environmental performance, and exemplary performance during the previous calendar year. The MMS identifies pacesetters by analyzing company-specific OCS Performance Indices and other available performance data.
 
At the workshop, a pacesetter is recognized for performance related to either the Personnel Safety or Pollution Prevention. Typically, the Personnel Safety category includes:

    bulletgreen.gif (846 bytes)one smaller producing company (< 30 MMBOE)
    bulletgreen.gif (846 bytes)one larger producing company (> 30 MMBOE)
    bulletgreen.gif (846 bytes)one contract producing company
    bulletgreen.gif (846 bytes)two drilling companies

The Pollution Prevention category includes:

    bulletgreen.gif (846 bytes)one smaller producer
    bulletgreen.gif (846 bytes)one larger producer

MMS invites each Performance Pacesetter to speak about some of the operating processes or techniques they think helped them achieve exemplary performance.
 
The MMS thanks the workshop presenters and their pacesetter companies for taking time to share some of their formulas for success. Please check back for future workshop information.
