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
