Environmental Studies Program Direction: Oil-Spill Research Efforts: Oil-Spill Risk Analysis
The Minerals Management Service produces oil-spill risk analyses (OSRA) for proposed
Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas lease sales and developmental activities.
These analyses estimate the potential oil-spill risks that may be associated with
offshore activities that occur once leases are awarded. It is important to remember that
these are projections based on probability only. There is no
way of knowing in advance, which tracts will be leased, which leases will see activity,
what types of hydrocarbons may be recovered if any, the size of an actual spill, or even
the prevailing weather conditions, should an accident occur.
Our most recent OSRA reports are available below in Adobe pdf format.
