BOEMRE Director Delivers Remarks at World National Oil Companies Congress

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) Director Michael R. Bromwich delivered remarks last week at the 5th annual World National Oil Companies Congress in London. The World National Oil Companies Congress brings together senior executives from national oil companies and government leaders from around the world to discuss global energy issues. Director Bromwich is attending this year's meeting to further the bureau’s efforts to expand bilateral and multilateral cooperation with regulatory counterparts around the globe, especially in light of the recommendations of the National Commission on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling stressing the importance of sharing experiences across different international systems and establishing global standards and best practices. 

While in the United Kingdom, Director Bromwich will also address the World Well Integrity Congress and the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers’ Management System Workshop. Director Bromwich will also meet with U.K. officials to discuss their regulatory framework and how certain aspects of the U.K. regulatory system, such as the safety case model, are applied in practice.

In the speech, Director Bromwich discussed the aggressive and far-reaching steps that BOEMRE is taking to renew its commitment to the responsible stewardship of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf, some important recent international developments in the realm of offshore drilling, and a comprehensive set of guiding principles and expectations related to the future of offshore exploration and development.   

Director Bromwich’s remarks, as prepared for delivery, are below:

Good afternoon. It is great to be here with you today. I want to start by thanking the conference organizers for putting together such an impressive event and for inviting me to speak about the future of offshore oil and gas regulation in the United States.   It was exactly a year ago yesterday that I became Director of the BOEMRE, which is the agency responsible for regulating offshore drilling and production in the United States. We renamed the agency to better reflect its mission but had a massive task ahead of us: undertaking a top-to-bottom reorganization of the agency and implementing major regulatory reforms, while at the same time responding to the worst offshore oil spill in United States history.

The mobile apps are ideal for reporting on safety conditions and code violations, performing regulatory audits and maintaining quality standards.

The apps can be equipped with stylus for signatures and markups, digital image capture with GPS locations, and data transfer to server.

Mobile apps are not a passing phase…they are here to stay, and for good reason. Creating regulatory/safety inspection reports in the field, using a mobile device, will revolutionize the safety inspection process. Let’s consider a 29 CFR OSHA audit, for example. The old way required pen, paper, camera, and clipboard. Observations and notes were recorded in the field, and data was compiled, sorted, and filed in the office. A paper report was then generated signed, sent and filed. Wouldn’t it be easier and more thorough to conduct all of these tasks in the field during your site walk? Inspect2GO is making this possible with new inspection app technology. Not only can you generate a report from the field, but you can sign, save, and email it, or integrate the data with your database on a server. The results are more organized, thorough, and precise than when performing the job with pen and paper. The apps save time and money.
