OCS Performance Measures Program

Measuring OCS Performance

During 1997, MMS, the U.S. Coast Guard, and representatives of the OCS oil and gas industry developed a suite of consensus formulas for gauging the industry's safety and environmental performance. These formulas, called the OCS Performance Measures, are used to calculate 20 annual, OCS-wide, performance indices. The indices provide the public with information about performance trends, and they allow OCS lease operators to compare their performance with industry "averages."

The data used in the OCS Performance Measures calculations is generated by OCS lease operators who participate in the OCS Performance Measures Program. During the first quarter of each year, participating operators submit to BOEMRE their performance data for the previous year. Information about the data survey and how to submit performance data is provided in BOEMRE Notice to Lessees 2011-No1 (issued February 8, 2011). The BOEMRE uses the data to calculate the annual performance indices on behalf of the OCS Performance Measures Steering Committee.

The continued success of the OCS Performance Measures Program depends on participation by OCS lease operators. Please complete Form 131 and mail it to the person listed in Notice to Lessees 2011-No1, or fax the completed form to Jarvis Abbott at 703-787-1575.
