2010 was a defining year for the offshore oil and gas industry in the United States. On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) floating drilling rig suffered a catastrophic explosion and fire. Eleven men died in the explosion — 17 others were injured. The fire, which burned for a day and a half, eventually sent the entire rig to the bottom of the sea. The extent of the spill was enormous, and the environmental damage is still being evaluated.

Following DWH the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulations and Enforcement (BOEMRE) issued many new regulations. One of them is the Safety and Environmental System (SEMS) rule, which is based on the American Petroleum Institute’s SEMP recommended practice. Companies have to be in full compliance with its extensive requirements by November 15, 2011.

• Detailed explanation of how to implement the new SEMS standard for offshore operations.
• Ties the new regulations in with existing Safety Management approaches helping managers leverage existing processes and paperwork.
• Written by a well-respected authority in the field (quotes from reviews: ‘vast expertise’, ‘Ian has insider access to executive thinking that few others have’, ‘Ian is a well known figure in the process safety industry and is well regarded’).
• CEOs now have to sign off on compliance paperwork, making SEMS implementation something you need to get right first time. Ian Sutton provides the expert insights you need to achieve this.
