Partnerships
The
Offshore Energy and Minerals Management (OEMM) actively
seeks partnerships with stakeholders who are involved with, or
affected by, oil and gas resource management activities. Not
only do partnerships result in important consensus building, but
within the current environment of ever-constrained budgets, they
also afford an opportunity for leveraging dollars and
accomplishing research objectives that might not be attainable
otherwise.
The
Bureau has established a number of key partnerships. Information about
our partnership initiatives is available through the information listed
below.
